Is Blind Tech List Dying?
Gerald Levy
I have noticed that since Sunday, message volume on the Blind Tech
list has diminished dramatically While message volume on this list has
been very high. There have been very few messages posted on the
Blind Tech list over the past two days. Have most Blind Tech members
defected to this list? Unlike the owner of the Blind Tech list, the owner
of this list is always actively involved in ongoing threads. But
like other list members, I would like to see more in the way of tech discussions
and less in the way of idel chit-chat. Hopefully, a separate list will be
created to handle the banter so that the main list can concentrate on answering
serious tech-related inquiries. Again, many thanks to Carlos for doing
such a great job. Now he’ll probably ban me. LOL!

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. Sent from a BrailleNote

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

We do have a techtalk chat thing so you can add that if you want,
and if you do, depending on your email client, it would be smart to
use filtering. I'm bad with that. lol

I think blindtech will be ok. I think lists are like churches. They fight and than they split.

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

Hi Robin,

Thanks for the positive feedback. And I hope that you and all other members continue to feel welcome enough to post. Whether it be to share information or just voice your opinions. As you say the list is still new and some useful suggestions have already been posted which might possibly help moderate the off topic chatter issue.
