But it is a list about Riv stuff and nothing but Riv stuff (and how we use it, which is- to me- often the more interesting discussion). We all have other resources for talking about other stuff- back channel discussions if we really want to talk to particular list members about other non-Riv stuff, and of course family and friends. I like having the specific focus. And, of course, it's Jim's list and he gets to set the rules. ;-) Tim On Jan 22, 2011, at 12:02 PM, robert zeidler wrote: > He's right, but constant talk about Riv stuff is... a bit boring. > Kind of like discussing Led Zeppelin-there's only some many ways to > beat the limited number of songs to death, until you've said all there > is to say-several times. > > My .02 > > RGZ > > On Sat, Jan 22, 2011 at 12:23 PM, CycloFiend <cyclofi...@earthlink.net> wrote: >> Hey all - >> >> As I mentioned in the State of the List Report, I have a work project which >> is taking a significant amount of time and energy right now.
