Re: Off Topic Posts (Again)

["Andy Powell" <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

It's nice to see a lurker becoming a contributor, even if it is
because of OT posts... Welcome....

[***WARNING: Content may offend***]

One thing I will say, bearing in mind that some wont see their mail
until they get home, I've re-read all the messages on this topic and
there does not appear to be a great deal of *actual* objection to the
OT posts voiced.

So why is there a problem?

Granted we should wait a day or so to give people the opertunity to
express their views but to be honest if there are only one or two
objectors and 50 non-objectors.. then quite frankly "the needs of the
many outweigh the needs of the few"..

I wouldn't want *anyone* to drop off the list at all, however I am
not *worried* that someone who sells HA stuff has dropped of list
because of the traffic. It does not worry me, it may sadden me but it
certainly doesn't worry me. People make their own choices, if they
choose to leave rather than delete then it's sad but so's life.

I'm now running the risk of saying some bad things so I'll STFU

Most definately IM*H*O
