Highly annoying when you are talking about list policy, IMO. The people on the list should be able to offer their views about what direction the list should be taking to eliminate some of the un-necessary spam. In this case, the list policy spam is a necessary evil and works towards the point of eliminating the real bad stuff. > Maybe we should start a Debate List, so that we can all debate in an > area where it would be accepted, rather than just spam. ...and what makes you think that, that list won't degenerate into either a spam-fest or just crash and burn? -- Daniel Koepke dkoepke@california.com Forgive me father, for I am sin. +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | | Or send 'info circle' to majordomo@cspo.queensu.ca | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
