Sorry Phil, but I disagree.
Mark
M and Tim have managed, at best, a "flame skirmish". More a flame
"reciprocal
expulsion of diplomats".
By
the way, and to get things going:
- Meridian kit is overpriced, overhyped
rubbish
-
Linux Rules, and anyone who doesn't find it easy to configure must be an
idiot
-
Only Quad speakers give decent stereo imaging.
-
The government should tax HA products at a special VAT rate of 30%, like
all
other luxuries...

Can I suggest:
"The second list is for the UK
Home Automation Die Hards and masochists
only! This can be a damn
busy list at times (record is around 1000 messages per day, mostly from Phil and mainly about damn all to do
with home automation!) but is full of interesting debate and info on
HA and other completely
unrelated
topics (MP3, Home Cinema, DIY, General Computer Stuff, Getting purchases past SWMBO
etc). We pride ourselves on having one of the friendliest, most
helpful lists around. You won't get abuse for asking a "newbie"
question and there aren't ANY flame wars here unlike certain
newsgroups (unless you happen to see the names Tim Morris and Mark
McCall on messages with the same
subject header). If the message volume is too high for you,
you
can still subscribe and have a digest email sent once a day or even turn
off
email all together and just read the articles you're interested in on the
web. If you're in the HA industry or have more than a casual interest
in HA then subscribe to this list now! "

Mailing List Description
After another hike in list traffic I've just
updated the mailing list page on the website to this....
Does this cover it or is there anything else
I need to add?
