Well, I was going to stay out of this and do what I've been doing to TJ's mail forever - deleting unread. I have several objections to these posts.
FIRST, TJ is well aware that there is an off-topic list for topics unrelated to CS SECOND, as usual, TJ simply posts a link with absolutely no commentary or original thought. I long ago decided that I personally felt this was arrogant of him, to assume his judgment about the value of the linked material should be accepted unquestioningly, and others should therefore take the time to access the link before knowing if the subject is remotely interesting to them. I may miss some stuff I'd like to know about, but if TJ can't take the time to write a few lines about what he found valuable in the linked material, I don't have the time to follow him around. I'll just have to make do with my own research on subjects of interest. THIRD, I, too, have been uncomfortable with other people's email addresses showing up in the address lines of his posts. Is TJ likewise sending my email address out to people I don't know, and wouldn't want to have contact with? Is this, perhaps, one of the reasons I've been seeing more and more spam? To be honest, I've been thinking lately about removing myself from the off-topic list, anyway. It seems it has turned into nothing more than a constant barrage of people (particularly TJ) posting links, without any substantive interchange between list members on the topics raised. I much preferred earlier discussions about corporate welfare, reforming the social security system, global warming, etc., when people actually posted their own original thinking, or at least made the effort to explain why linked material might be interesting in view of the topic at hand. This topic coming up here prompts me to consider other possible groups where the discussion is more stimulating and interactive, though I would dearly miss Ode Coyote, Mike, and a few others....
