Do you know
what? I think I've finally reached my "It's off-topic"
saturation point. Not the amount of off-topic content, but the
amount of moaning about things being off-topic.
Last I checked, I was not moaning
- I was moderating; and I will
continue to do so to the best of my abilities and using my best
judgement to keep things on-topic. [...] In my own opinion and in
the opinions many have expressed to me - I am guilty of not "moaning"
nearly enough.
Well, for all that I am apparently a statistical outlier, I take the
opposite view; I think you're going somewhat too far.
Yes, I have little interest in, say, cars or cameras - but not none,
and I consider (or would consider) the parts I'm uninterested in the
price for the discussions I am interested in, such as the CD player I
had trouble with recently, or the (non-computerized) oscilloscope I had
trouble with back in Feburary - I heard nothing about the latter's
on-topicness or lack thereof, though that could have been just because
it was before Jay got fed up and started cracking down.
That said, I do recognize that it's not my list, and that Jay has a
tough job trying to walk a line acceptable to everyone between being
too strict and being too lax; it's not for me to say his choices are
wrong, even if they're not the choices I would make. So, Jay, consider
this a voice speaking up in balance to all those other voices you refer
to, if you would - for whatever attention you choose to pay to it; I
also recognize that the list government is ultimately a dictatorship,
not a democracy, and that you are under no obligation to pay attention
to *any* of our opinons on the matter.
