RussG, A message such as you wrote is ambiguous because it is a demand TO the list to be taken OFF the list. If you simply wanted to be taken OFF the list, the instructions for doing that are at the bottom of every post from the list. So, it sounds like you want us to talk about the decline of the relevance to the list for your concerns.
I agree that some focus and restraint is important in a forum such as FRIAM. As a heavy poster to the list, I feel the sting of your comments, and will try to make my contributions sharper in the future. But I have always found the list pretty responsive to any topic that is introduced in a reasonably compact manner (not a skill of mine). So, if you are still with us, I would urge you to put a question or concern to the list and see what we do with it. If nothing of value comes of that, then use the instructions at the bottom of the list, or write Steve Guerin as sgue...@redfish.com and you will be free!

Instead, I find it a spot that is filled with anything but complexity. Please take me off the list. It has no utility for me. The inside jokes and self-congratulatory messages and the politics is frankly quite a bore. Nothing complex here! Enjoy yourselves. > > Russ Gonnering > Internet fora are ever thus. There has been plenty of modelling discussion, and other more philosophical discussion on complexity topics. But they aren't dominant :). -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prof Russell Standish Phone 0425 253119 (mobile) Principal, High Performance Coders Visiting Professor of Mathematics hpco...@hpcoders.com.au University of New South Wales http://www.hpcoders.com.au ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org
