I certainly agree with Jeremy, but then we were listparents for AIR-L together. With regards to blogging, Dr. Cornwell apparently does something similar. See http://bigdog.gather.com/ Dr. Cornwell has alluded to his presence there in previous postings to this list. I guees I see the general direction that Dr. Cornwell's postings take as an indirect attack on the US university system. I am not qualitified to judge the merit of Dr. Cornwell's crusade, but using AIR-L as the venue is a waste of bandwith. Which - even in the era of broadband - I think should be considered a sin against the spirit of the Internet. Best, Charlie On 9/14/06, David M Silver <dmsilver@usfca.edu> wrote:
i agree (and i bet most listmembers agree) with Richard Forno when he says:
I agree with Jeremy...on my lists, if someone gets too far off-topic or keeps breaking the list rules, I pull them aside to warn them. If it continues, they get removed straight away -- that's the only time I exercise my "iron hand as listdad." (That has rarely happened, as most folks tend to be respectful and responsible when warned, at least on my lists.)
Rasputin and Dr. W. Reid Cornwell: both of you have a lot of interesting ideas and you certainly enjoy sharing them! instead of pooping all over this list, you should blog.
