I tend to think of this list as a community where someone can come to get useful information on all things that might interest people that are into CNC machines, and happen to also use EMC. I like to get messages covering what we would talk about if we where sitting in a garage sipping beer (but without the pin up's). On the other hand, I appreciate that the only mission of this list is to provide a conduit for information related to the use of EMC software. Maybe a good compromise would be for us to pay_more_attention to; accurate and updated Subject: lines, using [OT] to mark off topic messages, and while I'm at it, delete message lines that are not related to replies. For those not interested in OT messages, this puts the burden of deleting OT messages from your Inbox, but I would hate miss at least half of the good information I currently get, if it were moved to another place. I know I am missing allot because I don't monitor the IRC, but I can only do so much. ----------- Kirk http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
