Re: Moderator Note -was- Re: Taking a walk? Don't leave home without this!
Hello. I'd like to echo what Cara has so elegantly stated below. Also, I have given the members of Fedora Outlier permission to post on list regarding the apps in question. To be blunt, if it's something you don't like or agree with, either delete it, or write them privately. Again, if it's something which you feel has crossed the list policy line, please please write me and/or Cara privately, forward the message, ETC. We will deal with it, or tell you it's approved, or tell you it's not. In either case, it helps keep list traffic down. Thanks much., -- Raul A. Gallegos Perfect has 7 letters and so does Sheldon.

I welcome your comments off the list (agree or disagree) but not on the list.

This type of thing is perfectly legit on this list.

None of the above options includes taking it upon yourself to righteously call the poster(s) out and essentially publicly chastise them. I hope this makes this crystal clear so we do not run into this on-list again. If you have concerns with list policies, they should be taken up with me or Raul. Now, know that we both do have lives so do not expect your concerns to get answers or responses right away. -And, for the record, if you just want to yell through your keyboard or try to call me out, then guess what, while I absolutely will read what you have to say, don't expect a response. I will spend my time positively working with people here who want to carry on intelligent and constructive conversations, who have points they'd like to make which are honestly important to them and which impact their lives as they use this list on a day-to-day basis. Those are the folks I have time for. If you feel that I've not gotten back with you when I should have then please please please understand that I do get a lot of email and notes do get lost from time to time. So by all means write me more than once if need be. I simply want what is best for this list and every person on it. So please have patience and know that I will do my very best to make this experience a good one for you all. :) Thanks for reading and remember, please respond to this to me privately if you feel you would like to. :) Thanks and have a great night and wonderful week!
