Now, what is worse: a) To let Fred to post his [OT] mailings to this list b) To keep loading the list with [OT] mailings "pro et contra" Fred's posts ??? I remember Fred's posts did not produce very long threads...(at least directly). Also, there was informational value in every post he made...Even [OT], his posts had valuable content... Now, the extra load to the list is even higher, but with less information. Regards, R.Soskic

Hello Radule
I quite agree with you
If you liked Fred's posts, you should subscribe to the new mailing list
signalled by Clifford. That 's what I have been doing just now.
Here's his message

I remember Fred's posts did not produce very long threads...(at least directly). entirely true.
Also, there was informational value in every post he made...Even [OT], his posts had valuable content...
YEEEES!!!! ack! ack! ack! true! true! i really appreciated fred's mails and never found them OT.
Now, the extra load to the list is even higher, but with less information. right.

entirely NO. when you subscribed, you will be (in some weeks like it was here) flooded with exactly those discussions which will result for many to set their filters... to filter like say 90% out only to read fred.... however, I already posted that suggestion (solution "o") earlier: Fred should post his short mails again on here, together with a foot note saying, that the discussions on that special mail will ONLY be on lx_talk. that would fit to all our needs: 1. those who liked freds short and lovely contributions still have those without subscribing to another list (and then filter 90% out only to get freds mails) 2. those who want to discuss may also do so, on their list. would this not be better?!?!?!?!?!? think so. because moving fred away was like a short-circuit-decision. btw: Fred, are you still reading at least? PM me, please, if so. Kindest regards. -- *º¤., ¸¸,.¤º*¨¨¨*¤ =Oliver@home= *º¤., ¸¸,.¤º*¨¨*¤

It wouldn't be better, because then people subscribed to both lists would get double emails, and then in a very short amount of time, the SLE list would be getting OT posts again, from new subscribers that don't know about LX-TALK and old subscribers who don't care to join LX-TALK but still want to reply to Fred's emails. The best solution is to join both lists and filter all but Fred's emails, if that's your goal. This keeps SLE to the technical, and LX-TALK to the OT and vocally opinionated. Combine the two, and you have the original "community", with better control over content. Have a great day, -Steven
