Apology, Info, Etc... (fwd) - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

18 Mar 1998

Again I warned you.  I was responding publicly to a public posting by the 
OWNER AND MODERATOR of the mailing list, Sam.  You are so out of line 
here that I can't believe anymore that your purpose on the mailing list 
is to do anything other than to harass others.

PS:  And I'm not going to allow you to do this privately...even if it 
does annoy the group because I think everyone needs to see what kind of 
person you really are and how petty and small-minded your little games 
are becoming.  I think this has bearing on any project that you undertake 
and the extent to which others should participate in it.

Again, you are in violation of Section 1.1 of the FAQ which reads:

1.1 What is ClassicCmp? 

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
dealing with the philosophical and/or metaphysical aspects of computers are
often better handled in private e-mail.

Please post only on-topic messages in the future.  Your cooperation would
be greatly valued by all.

Have a nice day!

 Personally I think the list is great and have noticed NO difficulties 
 whatsoever in its administration.

 I would hate to see it pass into the hands of someone who clearly does 
 not have the best interests of others in mind but merely wishes to 
 control it for the purposes of ego inflation.

 I think the list is wonderful Bill and, aside from one person who is 
 clearly incapable of behaving in a rational and courteous manner, should 
 remain precisely as it is.

 That's my two cents worth...

  If current arrangements are unworkable and
someone else
 would like to take over with their own listserv, it would
 be simple to just transfer the subscription list, I think.
 If you can live with the current level of administration,
 I have no problem continuing to host the listserv.
