Well, Bullit was just the opposite. Yeah, lately the threads have been long
but I have been one of the worst offenders. I prefer this place to be self
policing.

Yeah, I just collapse whole threads and hit delete in Thunderchicken. Meh. But
I'd say that I'd agree with Steve, and add that there are vendor reps on the
list that probably don't want to read all the OT crap. Maybe they care, maybe
not, I don't know.
And this is still Chuck's list. I think he has relaxed a lot from a few years
ago. Just sayin. I like it the way it is, but I could live with less
OT/political chit chat.

It seems politics is consuming a lot of chatter on the list. I personally
enjoy it, I have thick skin, per another thread, but I am concerned it could
turn south. This is the only industry mechanism I have for quick and dirty
advice so I am fearful it could devolve into something ugly or useless like
dslreports.
When Chuck ran the list there was a bit more policing, stay away from
religion or politics. I assume others got the offlist spankings I got. I'm not
bashing the current list owner, I enjoy the occasional freedom to rant.
What I am fearful of is losing the best resource I have for a vendor
neutral discussion of on topic issues.
I'm not asking that the off topic political discussion stop, or any other
off topic discussion for that matter, I do request however that everybody come
to a consensus that we are all adults with different backgrounds and opinions
who can disagree and still work together effectively.
This is solely a self serving request as I an very much incompetent for my
position and rely heavily on advice from this list to impress my boss so he
continues to give me a paycheck he could probably pay a comatose midget who
only wakes up long enough to swear to do the same level of work.
