I agree with Mark on this one.
A forum might be indicated for graphics simply because graphics are
very visual and screen shots might be helpful to a discussion
(another shameless plug for forums). However, I took Heather's
remarks to be that lengthly (and negative) discussions unrelated to
"using" Rev should be taken somewhere else --especially the kind that
get peoples tempers and frustrations up.

Of course, we're all free to create whatever lists and forums we
want, but I see no indication in Heathers message to suggest that
what you have in mind would be inapropriate for this list. That's
why I asked. It just seems that it would be a shame to find that
people hoping to find thngs out about Revs graphics facilities had
to go hunting around because that subject matter had migrated to
another place....

Dear list members,
This is a list for discussing how to use revolution. It has always
been a list specifically for this purpose. The bigger the list has
got, and the larger the number of members, the more important it
becomes to stick to this topic, because off topic posts annoy ever
larger numbers of people.
It is a moderated list, and always has been. Historically, this
list has needed very little moderation. I've only ever banned two
people, both for things which were completely unacceptable
(advocating piracy and foul language). Obviously the people on
this list are not automatons who do nothing but program, and from
time to time opinions will be expressed on various matters, but by
and large they have been expressed amicably, and kept sufficiently
short that no real action is needed.
I'm beginning to feel that the list needs more active moderation.
For whatever reason, the spirit of the list appears to be rather
scratchy at the moment, and the signal to noise ratio is dropping.
If you want to discuss politics, religion, how to run a business
or how not to run a business, free speech, or any other topic that
is not directly in keeping with the clearly stated aim of this
list, please take it elsewhere. Otherwise I am going to start
putting people on moderation, so that the rest of the group can
continue to use the list for what it is intended for.
Warm Regards,
Heather

I understood Heather Nagey's ruling to mean that the RR
Use-List was ONLY to be used to discuss CODE and HOW-TOs.
The RRGraphix Group that I started takes a rather broader
canvas (pun intended) - in that it can also be used to
suggest ways that the Graphic Capabilities of Runtime
Revolution may be expanded and improved on (constructive
criticism).
sincerely, Richmond Mathewson
