do wish to continue to recieve the information on it, please do not just go
and delete people who do not frequently post messages.

Ife we do have an admin it should be mostly a purely technical job, cleaning
up dead e-mails and maintaining a FAQ. It should also be handled with a
modicrum of control. Deleteing only those whose e-mails bounce more than
once, consecutively.
Since server problems can bound messages now and then.

I hate to disagree with the all powerful Darth Cooper but just because
some people don't post to the list don't pull out your saber and start
trimming the tree. Sure there are a few, Darkstar, Mark
VanderMuelern(sorry Mark I killed your name), Andrew, Morg the Master,
and a few others that primarily do all the posts, but you guys are
daunting to say the least. I posted a few things to the list and get no
responses on my works so I don't post anymore, that doesn't mean I am
not listening.

OK, I'm going to answer this comment as if I know what is going on (and
if I'm wrong, then *I'm* worried too). What I think the evil Admin-to-be
is saying is that he intends to be harsher on the non-contributers than
ones who flood this list with relevant material. (Am I right here?).
That makes sense, it's probably a good idea to give a little leeway to
contributers, and not be nice to people whose only contributions are
spam. As to disintegrating people on the first offense...well, I'm just
hoping you're kidding. Other than that, you have my vote to take on this
onerous task. (I mean it's not like anyone else *wants* it).

At the risk of being a "me too!" post- which are discouraged. I vote for
Jim/Darren, IF he agrees not to delete lurkers.

Some people just don't have the time to contribute much....:(

well, i'm for you as admin. i don't want the job :) unless there is no
other poor fool to slap it on (present nominee excluded, of course).

but i say you shouldn't de-subscribe people who are lurking. just
because the don't reply or post doesn't mean we should stamp them out
from listening in. just my point. let them stay. hopefully we'll find
some way to get them to contribute more.

This is correct. (Although, I'm glad I've got everyone a little worried
though - I see that I've actually managed to get infrequent posters to
post. Maybe this 'threat of force' thing I read in: "How to be a
Dictator in 12 easy steps" really does work! Woohoo! :D)

Don't underestimate me either, boys and girls. It depends on how I am
feeling the day a rules-breaker happens to poke their cranial appendage
around in the legit list traffic ...

>(I mean it's not like anyone else *wants* it).<

That's what _I'M_ worried about.

And people wonder why BR has been put on 'indefinite hiatus' ...

Cheers,
Darren

Heh ... this is too easy. Morg, pay attention to the master .... see
how easy it is?

OH, btw, people. Morg gets promoted to co-admin if I get voted in.
No arguements.

Trust me. BR *will* be revived, if I have anything to say about it. I
just need the support (else it makes me look like a really evil dude who
is just in this for the money ... oh, wait ... okay, I'll just shut up
now).

:D

Doh!!! Well, I promise that's gonna change too. Everyone who
contributes well to this list will be given just praise, if I have to do
it all myself. Mark my words.

Don't EVER remain silent because no one replies to your posts. If you
do, and I find out, I'll start to >>>>>
people with my Wand of Disintegration. It just blows my mind that
people get discouraged because of this! Most probably, people don't
reply because there isn't much else to say (or, its useless material -
which won't be happening anymore). That's what I mean about lurking -
don't stay silent because you think no one appreciates your hard work.
At the very least _I_ will appreciate the time you spend posting stuff
to this list.

And the reverse applies too. Anybody who insults people will get no
mercy.

Anyway, I'll be able to tell you all more, once I figure out how to
actually *run* a mailing list ...



Cheers,
Darren
