Guest guest Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 I think many of the list members would welcome taking the off-topic posts to another, more appropriate, list. Thank you. -=mark=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 I for one see no problem with it provided the vast majority of the posts are on topic and while there have been too many OT's to count over the last month or so, that is generally not the case. --- In , theta sigma <thetasig@c...> wrote: > I think many of the list members would welcome taking the off- topic posts > to another, more appropriate, list. > > Thank you. > > -=mark=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 I would agree with that. I signed up for this list to learn about the WAP diet and way of life, not to hear people's political opinions. If I signed onto a political list hoping to find people of likemindedness and read many of the political opinions expressed here, I would unsubscribe as I find them offensive to my own way of thinking and believing. However, since this is supposed to be a list on a subject that I am in agreement with the majority of posters here, I would like to stay, but not if I have to wade through so many political posts in order to do so. Additionally, so many OT posts increase the bandwidth usage of my server for something I am not interested in at all. It's bad enough that SPAM does this. I find so many OT posts unfair to those of us who have signed up for the real topic of this list.

Well, I don't tolerate " flame wars " . It really irritates me when people resort to name-calling instead of fact-finding. -- Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
