RE: [ga] List activity

["Debbie Garside" <debbie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you Eric for this positive overview and your friendly welcome.
 
I must apologise for my recent activity which has resulted in some 26 emails
being posted during the past 2 days - somewhat over the limit.  I promise to
try to curtail my input in the future (emphasis on the word try) :-)
 
best regards
 
Debbie

Hello all and welcome to all participants young and old, rookie and veteran.
 
We have some very strict rules of etiquette here.
 
Limit to 5 posts a day and no personal nasty attacks.
 
We have the worlds best monitor, and he constantly shows his tenured
judgment by showing restraint. I am certain that if someone yelled "fire" on
the crowded list he would both put out the fire and chastise the yeller
appropriately.
 
There are a couple of "newcombers" who may have "violated" a posting limit.
And we have one old timer who loves to consistantly exceed the limit. But
these are not earthshattering events and we all just kind of live with it.
 
The most abhorrent personal attack we see here is condescension mixed with
pompousness and insulting anothers intelligence. However the list rises up
to these occurences and we are all stronger in the aftermath. It is not a
fragile demoecosytem and it weathers all storms.
 
Personally and as Chair I have most appreciated the tit for tat exchange
regarding matters of high importance lately. It is likewise important to
remember, this list/forum has suffered from lack of participation.
 
New participation by anyone is greatly appreciated, however there are no
free passes regarding a position. If you simply count numbers of posts and
posters, you will find that participation inevitably goes up when a vitrolic
caustic post goes up. I guess like a soap opera ratings deal.
 
Welcome again to all participants.
 
Eric
