This is not a list for discussion of SciFi, or all the myraid of other crap
that has been going on here lately. I am not referring to just the SciFi
question, it was merely the last straw of many. You will henceforth use
alternate mailing lists or private email for that type of content. They do
exist. Really. Go find them.
If it's not about classic computers or their acquisition, repair, running,
history, or emulation.... do not post it. You'll earn a temporary
unsubscribe from the list. You can reapply in one week and be approved or
you can just not come back. I really don't care which at this point.
I do not want to see a long (or even a short) diatribe of follow up posts
on this. I do not want to hear another thread on "well, what's
classic/ontopic then". You're supposed to be intelligent adults so I'm
going to assume you have some clue what this list is for and what it is not
for. I don't want to hear another load of "oh I'm scared to post cause I
don't know what is ontopic". I doubt anyone is that dense. I don't want to
hear another thread on "this is cctalk we can talk about what we want". You
can't. There is one and only one reason that the list isn't back into
emergency moderation mode right now - I'm overcomitted work-wise at the
moment and don't have the time to babysit. So instead I'm just going to
unsub people who don't get the point or chose to argue about it. Call that
heavyhanded if you like - so be it.
At this time I can't read every post. If offtopicness continues and I miss
it, please bring it to my attention off-list and you can be sure it will be
delt with.
THANKS, JAY! I'm with you 100%
Lyle
