I agree as well. Am a little more on the fence when it comes to rules: yes, some basic ones are needed; no, not that many. But where you draw the line is likely to become an almost personal matter. The present flurry of e-mails on the subject is in response to what, considering my experience of the list, is a rare combination of posts content and monitoring actions. So my take is also: this too shall pass.

I agree that topics can be ignored based on subject line alone. Other list servers I'm on - this is not an issue. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dawn Wolthuis Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2007 12:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [U2] RE: Get a grip - was ads - was U2 University Last I agree, Jeff. That is my point with the suggestion that we eliminate u2-community and permit discussions like this one, even if not of interest to all. Let's move back/forward to a list where we permit discussions on all related topics and let people filter it themselves. Does anyone else agree with that or is this u2-community as a way to kill discussions and moderators needing to jump in too often due to all the rules (the moderators are just doing their jobs as defined), the way we want to run it? If I hear only silence, I will figure that I am in the minority with this opinion.

It's as though I'm too stupid to recognize the nature of a post unless it's tagged for me. Should we also require posters to use tags to separate their opinions from proven fact - [OPINION] [\OPINION].

Over and above a few clear rules, I say let the list members post what they want to!
