"Maybe the endless traffic about this already beat to death subject would
cease!"
I simply must comment re. my amazement at folks not wanting others to
discuss a particular subject. Is it not just as easy, as well as
considerate, to simply not participate in the thread?
>From an earlier post:
> Can we let this thread slip into the ether?
I've always been a tad fascinated by a request such as this. If a group of
individuals enjoy discussing a certain topic and a few others do not, is it
not just as easy for the few to just delete or skip that particular thread
rather than speak for "we?"
Imagine coming upon a roundtable/ragchew re. a topic we didn't particularly
enjoy. Would we QSK and ask that the discussion cease... Or would we simply
QSY?
To Eric, please accept my apologies if this sentiment seems at odds with
your duties as list moderator. It was certainly not meant as such. Having
witnessed the results of censorship (in the form of vocal/expressional
suppression) firsthand, I suppose I am a tad more sensitive with regard to
the slippery slope that exists when folks attempt to quell a discussion
based on their preference of subject matter. You, of course, have bandwidth
concerns. This was just a somewhat playful mini-rant - hihi.
Wishing all on the list and their families and warm wonderful holiday season
as well as a healthy and Happy New Year. As always, take care es...
