Well I must admit to finding some hilarious
moments in this current thread
and am against imposing on Jay the onerous and unthankfull job of
censorship of non-commercial OT threads, I must also agree that these OT
messages do compromise the integrity of the list. Anyone who has tried
Since I got this latest off-topic mess started by commenting on how
Bush helped Clinton ruin the economy, and, in particular, hurt workers
in the computer field, for whom jobs are really drying up in some
areas, I'll help to fix the OT problem: I'll start a classiccmp-ot
mailing list, unless anyone else wants to.
Of course, giving this more thought, it's all those people who
listened to Bush about the economy being bad, and cut spending and
hiring as a result, who deserve as much blame. I guess one could call
it the Chicken Little syndrome, only something really did begin to
fall eventually.
Anyway, this way, anyone who wants to view off-topic postings can
simply reply to classiccmp-ot with anything off-topic resulting from
replies to the classiccmp list. How's that sound? Then, Jay can just
delete, or divert to classiccmp-ot, any OT messages that slip through
to that list, and everyone can be spared unwanted OT messages.
