List Admin

*tilt* 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. Jay West
