Please, nobody leave.
I think the idea of keeping the OT stuff in general is wonderful and we
should enforce that.
But the more important issue is that we have all become a part of
each other's lives. Like it or not, and no matter how mad we get at
each other, we do care what this bunch of crackpots think and we mostly
like each other. Despite some real differences in outlook and basic
worldview, there is not a single person here I have not learned something
worthwhile from.
Can we please calm down a bit?
I would also like to suggest that any damn post by some anonymous
troll be given no weight at all, no matter how incendiary. If they will
not ID themselves, consider it tagging and let it go.
DC

I agree,
This NG has been apart of my life for the last 9 and a half years.
I remember when my son was born 9 years ago,I shared that with this
group. I remember when Dedric's childern were born and Chucks. When
Rich discovered he had Distonia(spelling?) I remember marriges and divorces
fingers getting choped off..the old fri nite chats and so much more. I shared
my medical problems and recieved great support here. To all I owe a great
thanks.
I can't leave without a fight. So if you all can post about Music that moves
you,maybe we can get back on the right track. Please check my post on that
subject,and let us know what makes you tick. remember,You can't love anything
you don't understand.,
respect
Nappy
PS I was in you neck of the woods today and thought of looking you DC.
Ever heard of Zosa Ranch-Bed and breakfast. south of Escondio off 395?

No, but I love B&B's. What's it like?
We spent the weekend down at the bayside Holiday Inn, you know the one
right across from the Star of India? Great place and the view from the
city side from the room balconies is wonderful. I sit out there with my
guitar and watch the trains come in and the guys building the high rises.
take care, and I am glad you are still here.

Yeah, what Don said. We may have come for the PARIS, but we stayed for the
humor, intellectual stimulation, and friendship. At least that's how I see
it. Isn't it amazing that people can make real soul to soul connections
though a pure "meeting of the minds?" And the fact that we can disagree
intensely at times and remain friends makes us almost like . . . dare I say
it? . . . family.
Anyway, I love all y'all cuz y'all 're crazy, and I like that in a human.

Actually, you and I are a great example of this. Could not agree less
on a bunch of important subjects, including politics (although we
disagree less here than may appear at first glance) and religion, yet
we genuinely like each other.
That has to mean there is room for hope that we all can get along here.
We just need to never ever feed the trolls.

This is by far the most important reason why I suggested to upgrade to something
like vbulletin. of course I got slammed... saying that too many were too
use to this format. vbulletin can require a verification, log in and has
more controls. Forums can be moderated and posts can be easily edited by
the author. too many reason not to update! Any tom, dick or harry can post
on here now with no edits or control... come out of the 70's and into at
least the 90's with vbulletin.
Although most of you don't remember me (cause I don't post that much), I
have been on these groups since 2000 or 2001... shortly after I got my Paris...
but there were a few times I left, planning not to come back because of
post content.
I am moving on to a firewire system now and will also prolly slip away
in the cyber dust. But I never got that close or posted that much, so I
won't be missed.
Just my 2 cents...

The main issue has always been NNTP support. A lot of the group's participants
prefer NNTP as their access method, and there's very little out there which
supports both web and NNTP. Plus we own the license to this already.
Within reason I can moderate, edit, etc as it is. It's probably more painful
to do it on here than some new GUI, and normally I don't see a need. It might
be time to get a little more solid on the "Politics/Religion goes in General"
rule, but, in theory, it's only a single command line to move a thread between
groups anyhow.
While I obviously very much prefer people to be open about who they are rather
than "trolling", I'm not sure the extent to which we'd really want to make
it hard for people to access the forum either. There are plenty of forums
which work well with logons though, but I'd at very least want to take a
vote amongst the group.
Unfortunately this forum doesn't have a poll feature. ;o)
Cheers,
Kim.

Kim,
I would feel guilty knowing you put any more of your time into
"controlling" the NG. Let's make this a self-moderating group.
In another thread I posted Ron Hubbard's Two Rules for Happy Living
which would be helpful for self-moderating. :
1) Be able to experience anything.
2) Create only those effects others can experience easily.
Let us take responsibility for our selves - we're not children.
