Subject: [alt-beam] enough with the mailing list content critiques.
Ok guy's, enough with the critiques about how stuff on the list isn't 'BEAM=
related'. People have to understand that just because people are posting i=
rrelevent stuff, or vaguely relevent stuff doesn't do anything to the quali=
ty of the messages. It's not like the good messages are being squeezed out =
of the list because of other messages. If there's something that people wan=
t to talk about, they will talk about it.When there isn't much going on, it=
's not because people are assulted with irrelevent stuff, it's because they=
*don't have anything to say.* So when people do want to talk about somethi=
gn the conversation will naturally gravitate twards that. The list is self =
regulating. You know, lazzie fair, hands off, and all that good economics s=
tuff. Unless someone posts 1 meg files or obscene material, there isn't any=
need for list control. =
oh and, the critiques about how messages are not beam related are kinda hyp=
ocritical. But I'm sure you knew that.
