[MLUG - DISCUSSION] RE: [MLUG] staying on topic

[Michael <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

That's the same as saying that we should require anybody that wants to
hold a convo to meet in secret in a dark alley behind Phil's Fish Market
on every third Thursday wearing a pink tutu and hopping on one foot. Sure
you could do that too if you want to talk but the purpose of having
mailing lists is to converse. That is what the discussion list is for. If
people are talking about things to much in the main list try suggesting
they move the convo to the discussion list. If you are dealing with some
new people that don't know the difference then try explaining. Bitching
and moaning is pointless.

I don't suffer from insanity... I enjoy every minute of it.
