Re: OT posts,was: [biofuel] Wet Blanket was Sea shanty
Hello Jerry Hi Todd and All, I have to go with Todd on this one. I'm about to have to choose between staying with biofuel and the gasifacation list I need to join. If the OT, political on this list stays as bad as it's been I'll have no choice. I believe it hurts the biofuel cause this list is supposed to want to spread. While humor is good it should be only as an aside on other ontopic posts and if you want to respond to these take them offline. Some of you have very wierd senses of humor!!! At least label them OT- humor or OT-pol for political so those of us who have other lives can get the biofuel info the we and the world needs without the OT's. You can't delete what's not labeled. Over half the posts in the last month have been OT, that's way too much. Sorry, that's just not true, unless you have a very different definition of OT to that of many other people on the list. I wonder quite what you mean by OT-pol for instance? I can't find any political messages. There are other lists for those who need their humor, pol fixes. Another problem is lack of post editing making what is a 1 line post into a 10kb to 100kb post. If we follow these rules we'll get more members and lose less. What's more important your OT fixes or spreading biofuel as wide as we can? I've been part of the problem too with my wind- water gen posts but at least they are RE in nature and goes to the same goal of renewable energy and are intertwined with biofuel. I'll cut down on them and label what I do post as OT-RE in the future. No need. Renewable energy, windmills etc are related topics, so too are such as red diesel, fuel cells, EVs, batteries, hydrogen, even Tesla, though none are biofuels - not off-topic, no need for special labels nor to cut down on them.

Re: OT posts,was: [biofuel] Wet Blanket was Sea shanty
yes, you do make sense, but i figured it wouldn't go as far as it did, however if we show ourselves as humourless mad cows for diesel we're gonna chase off newbies anyway. i'll try to label my responses ot in the future. jerry dycus wrote: Hi Todd and All, I have to go with Todd on this one.

Would it be entirely out of line to suggest that we seriously attempt to limit the lightheartedness, joviality and frivolity of off topic material to off list conversation? Just a purist, die-hard, extremist who would prefer to keep as many people in the loop for as long as possible - all the while attempting to maintain my sanity in an insane world.
