Ok fine. Until I'm able to take over ClassicCmp
completely, we can put a
few issues to a vote. I thought we already decided a couple months back
[...]
It's a mailing list for the discussion of classic
computers. Topics center
on collection, restoration, and operation. It is also an appropriate place
for stories and reminiscences of classic computers. Lofty discussions
I actually stopped to notice how many e-mails I got yesterday. Over 300.
Here's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to ignore all the off-topic BS (including the off-topic stuff
about being off-topic and and the off-topic cat-fighting) and all the
suggested changes and alternates and so on.
I will continue reading whatever comes in from
<classiccmp(a)u.washington.edu> and will (occassionally) post messages (maybe
even including the occasional off-topic one) to
<classiccmp(a)u.washington.edu> as if none of this had ever happened.
Those that are unhappy are welcome to go off and start something new. Who
knows, somewhere down the road, I might subscribe to your
list/chatroom/website/whatever as well.
Those that want to keep on whining, are welcome to do so. I'll delete your
messages and somehow manage to go about my business without committing
suicide.
Those that want to talk about classic computers, great. I'll read your
messages (even the bloody cax ones! 8^) and might even have something to
contribute.
So, if you liked it the way it was (and don't let Bill fool you, he's been
doing a great job) just sit back, ignore it, and the nonsense will
eventually blow over.
