This is precisely the reason I unsubscribed from cctalk and subscribed to cctech. Yet,
crap like this still gets through. Suck.

This is in french but the video is priceless! 17 minutes long.
Worth taking your favorite drink and take a seat.

This "crap" SHOULD get through. It's a perfectly okay example of something
that's off-topic but still related to historic technology.

I think that Julian was referring to it "getting through" to cctech, not
cctalk.

Ya'll 'r nuts. Making a vacuum tube strikes me as rather on-topic and if I
happened to be doing moderation that day - I sure would have passed that
through to cctech.
But that's just me, and not important. What *IS* important is that Lawrence
works damn hard for a lot of thankless hours gating stuff from cctalk to
cctech, and I don't want to hear any complaints about one or two things
slipping through even if they ARENT on topic. Ya'll owe him some gratitude,
not recrimination.

Yikes! Anyone moderating this flood of chronic off-topic meanderings
deserves a thank you. I always wondered how stuff ended up on cctech.
A big thank you to Lawrence for taking on the job, even though I've
never benefitted from his hard work!

Clarification...
1) cctalk is basically unmoderated (I mean from an automated standpoint.
From a policy standpoint I do "moderate" it).
When someone offends they are
told privately or publicly but posts to cctalk are
not "screened". Well,
other than for spam, OR, if it's coming from an account that isn't
subscribed to the list, or, if it's someone I specifically tagged as "their
posts require approval".
2) There are actually three people doing the moderation of posts from cctalk
to cctech; myself and two other people. My impression is that the other 2
volunteered to provide a service and aren't seeking recognition or anything
for it. I did not intend to post the name of one of the moderators (unless
they wanted to speak up). However, a post indicating ambivalence (and a
private one even indicating contempt) for that effort sure got under my skin
and caused a knee-jerk reaction (albeit, IMHO still justified).

OK, I'll broaden my spectrum of appreciation!
Thanks for all the hard work, Jay and all anonymous list volunteers!

You three each deserve a huge kudos for taking on such a thankless
task at all, and another for sticking with it.

IMHO too. I don't always like where you draw the line between on-topic
and off-topic, and disagree with a few other choices you make. But I
don't think I'd do much better (except possibly if "better" is measured
by "how in line with Mouse's preferences"), and the list as it is is a
*hell* of a lot better than nothing at all.

Maybe you should unsubscribe to cctech also !!
