Joniphiles - Hi folks. Time for one of my reminder messages. A few points pulled from the introductory letter you received when you subscribed:
------------------ LIST ETIQUETTE: 1) ALWAYS USE "NJC" IF APPLICABLE!!!!! (I sit on the fence on tonight's debate about ultra-strict adherence to this, but think that 99% of the time is about right.) 4) Tolerance, tolerance, tolerance 5) Don't throw "crumbs": People sometimes tend to use the discussion list as a chat room. By this, we mean that they will post a simple "Me too!" or "I agree" in response to someone else's post - and that's it. (There is a chat room here: http://www.jmdl.com/chat.cfm) 6) Post from within the ballpark: ...the JMDL is an unmoderated discussion of anything and everything related to the "life, art, music, and times of Joni Mitchell". We don't always talk about Joni but we try to "stay in the ballpark". ----------------- I enjoy observing the political debates here but am troubled by the sheer force with which they tend to suddenly dominate the list. I'm offering a *suggestion* for the political debates. How about taking them elsewhere once they reach that fevered pitch? I've set up a JMDL-PC list at Yahoo. It would be great if a responsible debater could suggest that the discussion be moved there when it "reaches that point". Sign up is quick and immediate, by sending a message to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". You'll be subbed faster than you can get your boxing gloves laced up. Post messages to that list by sending them here: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Again, this is just a suggestion... I'm open for comments. Thanks for listening, Les
