This is the way I see it.
Recently there was some questioning re OT posts mainly if not solely by Fred Miller. There was an "unofficial" count as to for and against. Unofficially, it was something like 14 -5 or so. I think others took that as a sign that people here *wanted* OT posts and in an manner to contribute, they post various news links. Suddenly there are tons of *new* OTs Originating, a free for all so to speak.
Of course this shouldn't mean that Fred had sole control of our OT fud, but that was the general feel of the list before the recent rash of recommendations to zdnet links and register postings. Fred has always providea *small* but *steady* stream of FUD. This new outbreak all happened in the past week. I really don't think there's a problem with replying to one or 2 newly started thread or having a healthy discussion of the ways of M$, however too many new postings is unwanted. NAyoe can surf the net and fin tons of anti M$ fud, posting that heare as a way to interest people is not welcome.
The key is balance and when you have this many people on a list its very
well when balance is all of the problem i got a suggestion: fred a.m. and co: please collect your news and links and simply release them ONLY ONCE PER MONTH via this list. sort of "miller press news" then all the complaints will certainly calm down. BUT: (biigg but here!) when it comes to balance concerning discussions ON these mails, i'd be for moving THESE discussions to a different ml. But again, I can truely second that the (I call them so here) "miller'n co-mails" packed into ONE mail a month would be enough information on this s.e. list. i think this is a fair compromise: those who like fred's links and news get a permanent SHORT overview. and those who want to discuss these very topics, have their own ml without flooding up THIS list. kindest regards, O Vote for solution "O" hehehe -- *º¤., ¸¸,.¤º*¨¨¨*¤ =Oliver@home= *º¤., ¸¸,.¤º*¨¨*¤ Also, wie war das denn nochmal? Da wir jetzt durch eine untaktisch kluge Fuegung eingesehen haben, dass das mit der Zusammendehnung ein echter Griff ins Klo war, sehen wir keinen weiteren Grund zur Veranlassung.
