Hi,
It seems to me that the life cycle of every list which is in its own way like a living thing seems to ebb and flow like the tide moving through periods of higher activity and lower, being on point and straying into a bit more loose chatter. I'm sure under the steadying hand and even tempered nature of our moderator it'll weather them all just fine. After all like a new relationship it's still shiny and the newness is still quite palpable. therefore the chatter of the past few days doesn't cause me much alarm as a reader or participant. In time the newness will wear off and as is the case in any relationship it'll start to take on its own unique character.
After all it is only still under a week old.
Mercifully we still have at our disposal the delete key, filters and when things get really overwhelming there's always the option of going no mail until things calm down.
Just my two cents absolutely no one asked for but I still feel welcome enough to post (smile).
Happy computing, learning and forbearing one with another everyone.
Robin

Hi,
Not carlos, but I'm kind of the tester of everything. The chat
group is already created. As for blindtech, I agree. Its more
like the silent drama tech. LOL! And I agree, our admin actually
cares, unlike over there, whenever they feel like, an admin note
appears. But that's pretty much it.

Hi,

The list over there has seen decreased traffic (the latest buzz is appointment of someone to the moderator position).

Cheers,

Joseph
