HI All, when I started this list just before the first accessible iPHone came out, my original plan was to have a non-moderated list. I feel that people are adults and can treat each other with the respect and dignity they deserve.
i still believe this. Though it has become necessary over the years to moderate this list, I still do feel that people here can treat each other with respect and dignity. So, as list owner and moderator, I am simply reminding all of us of our basic human responsibilities to let each other voice our opinions, whether or not we agree with them. This means not calling people names such as whiners or saying they are bitching and moaning. because quite honestly, when you call others names guess what? You are complaining and whining and quite frankly bitching and moaning! lol! Know what I mean? We're all capable of this and it just does not work in a list situation such as this one. also, as a quick note on four letter words and colorful language. Since there are members here from all over the world and from diverse religious and moral backgrounds, words like the B word above and all of the other colorful types of vocabulary are not welcome here. Personally they don't bother me a bit (within reason) but I am asking us to simply again, be aware of others here. If you need more clarification just ask and I'll be happy to detail this. Before I go on, let me just stop and also congratulate you all for actually doing a wonderful job to maintain a great amount of peace and civility. Many lists might have degenerated in to flame wars over what we all have been discussing and passing back and forth here over the last few weeks. So please feel free to give yourselves a hand if you wish! :) I'm serious. With a list this size, it's no small feat to manage intense discussions such as what we are lucky enough to have here. the fact that we can keep these threads going in a reasonably civil way is seriously cool and mature of all of us. So trust me when I say I thank you for it. It definitely makes life easier for Raul and myself. So let me just encourage us to just be aware to take a second when responding to people whose opinions really get to us and just remember the kind of cool and intelligent venue for discussion we have here. Just treat each other with respect and dignity as you would want for yourselves and we'll do fine. Thanks so much to you all for reading this message and please do keep up the great informative and lively discussions that make this list what it is. have a great weekend and talk with y'all soon!
