[UC] Strike over, when Roger speaks they listen
As I wander the streets aimlessly, I was starting to enjoy the company. I was about to comment on the bright side of the strike when I heard the news.

[UC] Glenn's List vs. Kyle's List: a measure of popularity
From 6pm Sunday to 6pm Monday, 5 comments about the impact of the SEPTA strike on our neighborhood -- a hot neighborhood topic -- were posted on Glenn's List (UnivCity@list.purple.com). During the same timeframe, 18 comments about the same subject were posted on Kyle's List (ucneighb...@lists.asc.upenn.edu). I maintain a presence on Glenn's List because I want to be open to, and keep in touch with, all my neighbors. But Kyle's List is where the hottest discussion of University City issues takes place these days. The thing I like most about Kyle, compared to his business rival, is he isn't constantly heaping personal abuse on his neighbors in West Philadelphia. He never does this, in fact. It's quite refreshing compared to the listserve that Glenn rules. -- Tony West You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named UnivCity.

Re: [UC] Glenn's List vs. Kyle's List: a measure of popularity
Dear Tony and Frank, Permit me to hearken back to Linda Lee's post with regard to the final word about lost pets posts. I quite understand her assertions about 'lurkers' who are afraid to post, and the fact sometimes we post as if there is no else save us and we are known to everyone. Glenn posts on the UC Listserv frequently. However it is not Glenn's listserv. It is a community listserv, born of some Spruce Hill Board Officers wishing to communicate by e-mail with other SHCA Officers in order to shore up a membership database and check whether SHCA were current. At the time, Nick Sanders was Treasurer of SHCA and I was membership Chair/Co-Chair. Later, Nick Sanders uploaded this onto the now defunct community groups web, Liberty Net. Jeff Abramson, SHCA Internet Chair, extended the listserv to all, through Purple and graciously hosted it for YEARS! Kudos! Please remember this is a community listserv accessible to ALL may partake in any discussion that might affect them. It is NOT; Glenn's listserv. Indeed it could be partially mine and/or Nick Sanders and/or Jeff Abramson. As for the UCNeighbors listserv, or as you say Kyle's listserv, was expressly created to exclude the opinions and/or the persons who stated them. I would not join even though I had been asked to because I do not believe in blocking arguments or posts which annoy me. Our community is our community and one has to tolerate all sorts. With no offense to Glenn, this is not Glenn's listserv; rather the University City Listserv. On 11/9/09 6:57 PM, Frank fcarr...@pobox.com wrote: Are you serious?!?! Are we in grade school??

Re: [UC] Glenn's List vs. Kyle's List: a measure of popularity
Hi Colleen, To answer your question: absolutely nothing. The info (below) is useless (to you) and only 'meaningful' to a handful of people. Just fyi, there are currently (that I know of ) three local email groups: the purple list (which you have posted on), the PFSNI list (comprised mostly of Penn faculty and staff and some students), and UCneighbors. Purple and PFSNI have been around for many years. UCneighbors was created a couple years ago (by Kyle Cassidy) in reaction to some of the unpleasant behavior on the Purple list. Some folks are on just one list, some are on two lists, and others (like myself) choose to be on all three. Tony, Kyle, and Glenn are all members of the community, but are probably not on all the same lists. (Actually, I believe Tony is on both Purple and UCneighbors, Glenn is just on Purple, and Kyle is on UCneighbors.) Some folks don't always share the same opinions, which sometimes results in little outbursts like the one you responded to. Some of the posts can be quite petty and are not representative of the larger lists. What is unfortunate is that there are 'good' dialogues on both Purple and UCneighbors that often don't cross over unless someone cross-lists a post or someone on one list forwards it to the other (which often makes for uneven responding). That is the problem/frustration with having more than one list for essentially the same purpose. I would just stick with it and ignore and delete any posts that don't seem to make sense to you. Usually, it is because they are senseless. :-) If you want a wider range of info I would recommend also joining the UCneighbors list: http://lists.asc.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/ucneighbors FYI, while there are hundreds of folks on these lists, there are relatively few who actually write/post to the lists (I'm guessing around 25, maybe less?). Hopefully that will change in the future. take care, Linda On Nov 9, 2009, at 11:05 PM, Colleen Pinney wrote: What does a new-comer (not to west philly,I have lived here for 32 years as an adult) do with this info?)
