Subject: Is the ATIC elitary ?
Hi,
just some final statements about our "hot" discussion ...
I won´t reply on special phrases in the previous postings. I think the
discussion is to polemic at the moment and everybody can make up his own
opinion on the different parties.
- It seems that some people have different opinions about the topics for
this mailinglist. Well, it is and will stay the Africa Twin Mailinglist.
Nobody was ever blamed for making jokes, asking about holiday trips or even
trading via the list. I never stopped any discussions of this kind but I
won´t change the rules and print out "Please produce as many junk mail as
possible." Friendly mails will always result in friendly answers and I see
no problem to continue the style we had until 5 days ago. However, I
reserve the right to reply on offending public mails against me in the same
way.
- The Topic "Tuscany meeting" is really outworn. I repeated multiple that
Beppes capacities are limited. You have to accept this, it is not your
house. Perhaps some of you relly start thinking about organizing other
activities, but just critics without alternatives are no good style.
- Repeating topics (like fuel pumps...) are quite normal on discussion
groups on the net. To reduce it, I asked often to build small summaries of
solutions you found for putting them on Web. This is no force, it is a just
a suggestion of mine.
But I must say, feedback is less than poor !
So lets not follow this bad habit on the net, to discuss groups "to death".
You can form a group yourselves by productive postings but not by
discussing how the group has to be !
Greets, --- Micha ---
