I agreed with the new rules until the bit where nobody can say they disagree.
That, and I really don't have time to read the volume coming from this list.
Farewell all, then. If you have questions about apple2 GSs or Tiger Learning
Computers, please feel free to e-mail me personally

I asked over a week ago to unscribe me as well but it appears not to
have been done. Today, after being away for a week, I have to weed
through the chatter to find my important mail.
Please unsubscribe me from this list.

New subject: If you need to UN-subscribe Look Here
Just to let people know, everyone who is on this list should
have gotten a message that describes how to un-subscribe (along with
an suggestion to keep it for future reference).
For those who were a little too quick with the <DELETE> button, to
wit:
To signoff from the list, email to
listproc(a)u.washington.edu with the
following request:
signoff CLASSICCMP
or
unsubscribe CLASSICCMP
Everybody got that? I'm sorry if this message has angered anyone.
It's not really on topic, but I feel it had to be said.
Peace.

I agree to disagree.... this mail list like all the others is made by
the people partecipating to it and belong to them NOT to the promoter.

Hi Jim.

can say they disagree.

Sorry you feel this way. The point wasn't really to prevent you from
disagreeing - it was to prevent a flood of responses which might have
bogged down the list for days. The whole idea of the new rules was to
curb the absolute flood of unsubs that have resulted for the most part
due to the constant bickering. We dropped from over 220 members to 160
over the last month. I'm sorry to see you go.
Bill, please unsubscribe me.
OK.

Hi Jim.
On the contrary, I think that people are unsubscribing because in this
mailing list about collecting Classic icons there is NOT ENOUGH
discussion about the history of the computing boom and the hows and whys
that led to it. To just limit the discussion to the mere hardware is
narrow minded and shows the kind of attitude which leads to consider
"the other" (the one which begs to differ) as an enemy or at least as an
intruder. The "dont' bother us as we know what we should be talking
about" attitude might be legal and understandable but is it wise?
As already said here several times, computers are bits of metal and
plastic. They are important for the sentiments and the feelings they
managed to raise in each and everybody (and soul) of us. You keep your
hardware (and I will keep mine so that I can leave it to future
generations) but I will keep my principles and if this will mean I will
have to do without you, then (I will be sorry but) be it.

I for one certainly support Bill's efforts to keep this list on target. His
efforts are aimed at preserving the integrity of the list and keeping
things civil. I would much rather attend a well run meeting than sit in a
room full of people yelling at each other or debating trivia. The quality
and usefulness of this list are directly proportional to the number of
interested parties who subscribe and I would hate to see subscription
dwindle to a few chat cliques.

Sorry to post a "me-to" article (which is forbidden) but ditto. I think
Bill deserves at least some credit for putting this together so that at
the very least we can scream and bitch at each other.

Yes,
agreed, BUT the pint being made here is WHICH is the target? Just
hardware OR history of the machines as well?

For the benefit of any here who have not read my response to this
question or the FAQ:
Anything related to classic computers is appropriate discussion. History
is generally included in the term "anything". I cannot make this any
clearer.
If you post a message and no one follows up then they are unable or
unwilling to do so. In these instances a repost 3-4 months later may
get better results as there will (hopefully) be an increased readership
after that time.
Repeatedly resurrecting topics for which no one has an answer will
result in people being annoyed with you and becoming less likely to
respond favorably to anything you post. This is human nature.
The FAQ lays out in excruciating detail what kinds of discussion are
appropriate here. I highly suggest that you read it if you have any
questions.
