Hello, I received the email below from Russ.
All the other discussion groups I'm a member of allow members to openly discuss their operation. Having accepted this as the norm, I sent an email which was not a reply to a closed thread but the start of a discussion regarding list policy. Given Russ's email, it would seem I have upset a few people in doing so. Please be rest assured that no disrespect was intended on my part. I appreciate the work that the moderators do. I was in fact just making a comment which in my view would lead to the list becoming even more valuable than it is now. I'm sorry for any offence. -- Ian Fenn -----Original Message----- From: russ - maxdesign [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 10 January 2005 10:43 To: Ian Fenn Subject: Re: ADMIN - thread closed ... OFFLIST > I agree. Ian, You replied to a thread that has been officially closed by a core member. This is against WSG mail list guidelines. The relevant section states: "The list administrators reserve the right to unsubscribe any member from the list. Reasons include: Repeatedly replying to threads that have been closed" Regardless of the guidelines, your comments showed a lack of respect to one of our core members, Lea. She, like other core members help Peter and I run the list, free of charge, trying to keep the list on focus, and generally all they get is abuse. If you have an issue, please do not post your comment to the list. It is incredibly disrespectful to the core member and just adds to unnecessary traffic. Instead, let Admin know about your concerns - offlist. Please do not ever post to a closed thread again!
