Re: Improper off-list emails

[Andrew Kershaw]

Can you please(please, please) have this discussion off-list?

Thank you all

Marc

That's the funniest thing I think I've ever read on this list!  Let 
me email you privately to relay my kudos!  :-P

All joking aside, I'd just like to point out that the PowerBooks list 
seems to run extremely smoothly and civilly with almost no nanny 
intervention.  (Heck, half the people on the list don't even know 
that there _is_ a nanny - when I've asked to speak with a nanny in 
the past, no one could tell me who it is...  I can't even think of 
the last time Beverly posted anything to the list...)

This list can't seem to go a day without a nanny laying the smack 
down.  And, frankly, I haven't seen any of it actually _helping_ to 
form a community on the list.  (Before you tell me I don't know what 
running a list is like, let me tell you what it's like to run a list 
for 250 college freshmen in a dorm.  Utter chaos - G-Books is 
extremely tame by comparison.  You wouldn't believe some of the 
things they said about each other.)

I almost dread coming to this list for help.  The PowerBooks list is 
extremely helpful, friendly, and community-oriented.  In the last 
month or so on G-Books, I've seen more OT discussion and flame wars 
than I've seen on PowerBooks in four years.  What caused this 
difference in "culture" between two lists so fundamentally related??

Peace,
Drew
