Re: Um What happened to the list?

["Dave Ewing" <rabbit16v@prodigy.net>]

What is the deal Shawn?  Do you just look for chances to jump down people's
throats?  If YOU don't entirely agree with what Danny has to say, it
definitely does not mean that what he is trying to say isn't true!!  Anyone
on the list has a right to constructively criticize the goings on of the
list if it isn't working for them.  By doing this they (Danny) may be
pointing out something that just might need to change!  You just seem to
want to rip people apart for trying to make the list a better and more
enjoyable place to read and post messages.  I agree with Danny on all the ND
posts and MULTIPLE responses to the same question (and the same answer).
Don't get me wrong, I do like to read some of the stories and things that
happened during ND, but at the same time, I haven't heard someone write "Hey
all, I tried this and it worked really good.  What I did was.........." for
a long time.  I might read 2 or 3 messages out of 30 or 40 and it still
doesn't tell me anything new.  I am NOT saying I dislike the list, just
saying that NO ONE is so perfect that they don't need to be reminded of the
goal once in a while.  PLUS, NEVER was the goal of the list to rip on people
for trying to help and share their opinion on what may make a more
proficient list.

I really hope you don't respond to this and rip on me too because I would
like this to just be another constructive suggestion (not only to you but to
everyone who feels the need to rip).  If you do decide to rip on me too,it
will just be proof of your problem that I would think is unacceptable(since
I am not attacking you pesonally, just something that you did that seemed to
be in haste).  Don't expect for me to fight with you over this using the
SCIROCCO list as a boxing ring.  We are all friends here and should be able
to take constructive criticizm and be mature about it without getting all
bent out of shape.  Just be cool and have fun.  Life is WAY too short!!

Hey Dan,

How long have you been on the list. (I ask with all seriousness.)

This is what the list does; gets out of hand, gets chastised, tightens
up a bit, gets out of hand again.

Been through a couple of cycles myself, even kicked off one or two.

Both the symptom & the cure.

See, it can be handled proffessionally!!
