I agree that the list runs fairly well without a
"list nazi" stomping
around policing everyone's posts. I'm on several Mac lists on LEM. I
posted a question on a list and was slapped down by the list police. It
concerned a Daystar Genesis with a G4 upgrade card running OS-X. It
seems that it wasn't welcome on the Powermac list becase Apple didn't
make it. It wasn't welcome on OldMacMP list because it wasn't running
it's original MP processor card and it wasn't welcome on the G-List
becasue it wasn't a factory G-4. The only place it was considered on
topic was on the Unsupported-X list.
The LEM lists, while can be helpful, are VERY VERY bad examples of a
"nice" list. They are however great examples of how to run a list who's
goal is to piss off every subscriber inside of 6 months.
The nazis they have as list nannies are unreal, and the list mom may be
the worst of the bunch. I think even Sellam would find their level of
topic policing to be too much ;-)
