[LIST ADMIN MESSAGE] Yup. And guess what? It's all my fault. I take full responsibility for not doing a bit more stringent 'policing' of the OT threads.
So, now... BEHAVE! Y'hear? ;-) Warm regards, Stu Sjouwerman Founder, VP Marketing.

Anyone here know of a good email list to discuss NT sysadmin issues? Seriously, folks, the signal-to-noise ratio on this list is going to hell. Today we had 15 messages on the definition of a word (here's a tip: www.google.com), 37 on a cartoon, 8 on banjos, 5 on the security of Mac's, 7 that were basically bitching about lack of recognition in one's job, 4 asking if the list was up (email asking if email was working?!?), and 1 get-well wish in a 3-day-old banned thread. That's 77. Oh, and about 20 that were actually something like on-topic. That's a ratio of about 4:1, or 25%. Twenty five percent. Ponder that a bit. Would you work for 25% of your pay? Would you pass a student with a 25% grade average? I think it's one thing to have the occasional off-topic message or thread, or occasional joke. This is something else entirely. This is the occasional on-topic message in a sea of crap. I've seen Stu kill more threads in the past 7 days than I've seen him do in the previous year. Is it too much to ask that people act like adults and exercise a little self-discipline? Whatever happened to "on-topic and low noise"? I realize I've been a sometime contributor to some of this myself, and from this point forward I'm going to strive not to be. I ask that you please all join me in that. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ .. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
