I have this morning sent to a number of posters requests not to send further inappropriate postings to this list. If these result in much improved behaviour, well and good. If not, I plan to move to a practice familiar to followers of cricket. Friendly warnings for misbehaviour may be given. Formal warnings follow. Too many formal warnings and you are asked to retire from the match. And yes, that would mean a move to restricting postings to addresses previously supplied, if not necessarily subscribed.
Comments on that plan to the list, please.
Sounds like a good plan to me.
as far as i'm concerned it's about time. i've seen to many irrelevant posting here which are nothing more then ego trips. I expect a conference on technical discussion to remain technical - and not some excuse to conduct a soap opera. the list administrator should be more active in keeping the discussion topical. I've seen the Jeff Williams discussions in the past and they have a tendency of cascading. And Jeff Williams is rarely the reason why they cascade - it is usually those people who speak badly of him who are the primary offenders. a word of advice to the offenders - if you want to slime someone - do it in private - you'll get more milage out of that plan of attack. regards joe baptista -- Joe Baptista The dot.GOD Registry, Limited The Executive Plaza, Suite 908 150 West 51st Street Tel: 1 (208) 330-4173 Manhattan Island NYC 10019 USA Fax: 1 (208) 293-9773 --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
