Nature of classiccmp (was Re: age limits for classic computers)

Hello Steve -- I'm not sure how long you have been a list member, but my experience with this list, over the past several years, is that once or twice each year certain topics arise pertaining to the nature of the list itself. These topics have included: What is on topic for this list? What is off-topic? How should the archives be organized? What's the *best* format for the email subject lines? What are the criteria for "For Sale" posts? Etc. These discussions have resulted in a number of changes to the list, including the cctalk/cctech split a couple of years back. As opposed to many other lists and Usenet groups, it seems to me that periodic self-redefinition is a fundamental characteristic of classiccmp, and I find the desire of the listmembers to continually improve the quality of this list very admirable. Will you please be patient while we go through this process again? It is part of what makes this list unique. Regards, Glen Goodwin 0/0
