Well put, Chris. I WOULD copy this to the list but don't want to hear the
whining about one liners. I am therefore policing myself.
Peace,
Alex

Personally, I find a few messages about something I may or may not care
about (gear, in this case) to be far less alienating than people telling
me what I am and am not allowed to talk about in a public forum.
I don't see how the absence of an admin actively envorcing rules makes
everyone think it's their job to be list-vigilantes, enforcing the
(intentionally vague, i'd assume) faq as they interpret it. Note that the
"self policing" mentioned in the faq PROBABLY means "police
yourself." This is, of course, my interpretation. But i find it pretty
hard to believe that anyone could interpret "self police" to mean "police
others." Also, please refer to the line that says "building a gate around
a community is never the answer."
What if i said track IDs shouldn't be allowed, because a large percentage
of the subscribers aren't djs, and don't care for that kind of thing? Am
I any more right than you?
Not only are abstract discussions of what's on-topic the most off-topic
thing I can think of, they discourage the open dialogue that makes a
mailing list good.
did i humiliate anyone this time?
