*** Union Representative*** :-)RE: ***Forum criminals labor uniun member*** let it be

[Aaron Bartell <al...@gmail.com>]

I disagree.  If there was very little traffic (less than 20 posts a day) and
it wasn't a high profile list then there would be few who would care and OT
posts would be just fine. But this is a high profile list and it gets A LOT
of posts a day.

The fact of the matter is that for Sumithra to get an answer to a simple
question it caused the other 500 people on this list to first read his email
to see if they could help with his supposed Tapestry question.  But after
finding out that it wasn't a Tapestry question at all but rather laziness of
finding the right forum they hit the delete key.

In my mind there is a protocol to follow (at least that's how it works on
the other mailing lists I frequent) and if somebody is posting something
that is totally off topic then it should be addressed so other don't think
it is ok to post off topic. 

I am not trying to make a big deal of this. If this is a forum that allows
OT threads I will shut my trap.

I drop my case (though I still agree with myself :-)

I'm with Ron on this one. I don't mind the occasional OT post; I've been
guilty of using this forum for non tapestry stuff myself and I don't see
anything intrinsically wrong with it. Ultimately it's a community of like
minded people, and folks are occasionally going to stray into OT land. 
	
I don't see that as a problem; rather I see it as a sign of the strength of
the community.

***Forum criminals labor uniun member*** playing with words :)

[Ron Piterman <rp...@gmx.net>]

one should diffrenciate between bad role understanding, abuse, and 
benefit - what he was doing is taking a benefit but not abusing - 
otherwise I would have been the first one (or maybe second - if you draw 
faster...) to shout ;-)
