[NSRCA-discussion] List rules clarification question (long)

[Lisa & Larry]

Marty,

Great idea...This thread got a bit more enthusiasm than I anticipated.

I wasn't suggesting congress to convene for a solution...Perhaps leadership
in my use could have been clarified; all I meant was someone with the
authority acting on NSRCA behalf...

I don't chime in much as I still consider my self as a newbie. I didn't
think it right that Del wasn't being treated fairly by some responses as Del
was correct in his statement. I also didn't like Ihncheol taking heat
because he did what was ethical and consistent in my opinion.

Now that I stirred the pot and took part in ruffling people's feathers, I'll
start a new thread because I actually need help to a simple issue for
most...Pull Pull cable tension.

CLARIFICATION BESIDE THE POINT:

So far as I know, I'm not moderating or managing this list.

It is a service contributed by one of the webteam.  I'm not
sure whether he wants to be anonymous, so I'm leaving his
name out of this for the moment.

So far as I know, the NSRCA is benefiting from the donation
and not making any contributions for the upkeep of the list
server (I may be wrong about this).  My impression is that
the list is a labor of love and that we're all indebted
to our benefactor.

I'm trying right now to arrange to fill in the gap left
by Ed Hartley's re-arrangement of his priorities.  I'm
hoping we can move to a system in which many people can
be responsible for content in various areas--expanding
the web team.

BACK TO THE POINT:

I think you're right about clarifying the list rules.
I am personally not at all offended by on-list ads.
If we could agree to a set of tags, people can filter
out threads they don't want to see.  Something like:

[AD]
[For Sale]
[Policy]
[FAQ]

etc.

I do understand that it's important not to destroy the
K-Factor's centrality in the organization nor its
income.

OK by me.

I think it's OK for folks to put stuff in their signatures--links
to their websites, whether they are commercial or non-profit.
