Paal, go ahead and post about cars. If anyone wants to talk to you about them they will. If not I assume you are adult enough to not continue posting a dead subject. If it turns out that only one or two of you are interested, then common courtesy would suggest you take it off list.
The thing about censor types is they don't think anybody has any restraint and they have to beat people over the head to get them to act reasonably. I have been on the list since before Pentax dropped it as an official list. In all that time the only actual flame war I have seen is the one that was going on when I first subscribed. Both the people involved in that war have been off and on the list since, but have not engaged in that activity. I expect folks on this list to be friendly, courteous, and self-restrained. In the couple of years I have been here they have. Occasionally, some of us get out of line. A friendly private reminder has always gotten things straightened out. As has been mentioned here before, many of us see this as list for Pentax Users, rather than a list about Pentax cameras. That makes for an interesting list. I can not imagine anyone who is not trying to make themselves out to be the Pentax Guru staying on a pure equipment list for more than a few weeks. There are people on this list who have been here for years. The way it is seems to suit most of them. --graywolf ---------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: Pål Audun Jensen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, November 30, 2001 5:16 AM Subject: Re: Take cover!

Probably because you don't have one of your own. This is with all due respect nonsense coming from someone who apply censorship by stating he can post whatever he likes. I'm interested in cars. If I want to discuss cars right here and can turn this into a Pentax car forum simply by posting car posts. I can flood you with car post. Then its me who decide what this list is all about without permission from anybody doing whatever I like - this is effective censorship inasmuch as this will over time scare away everybody not interested in Pentax and cars. This is childish behaviour... As for attitude. What attitude is it to post whatever one like? If this is the right attitude does it give me the right to call people assholes if I feel like it, without getting complaints? Attitude is to try to not offend people by avoiding posting about eg. politics and religion. That was not what they came here for. This is to show consideration which is the right attitude.
