hm... I wonder whether we just could do what others already suggested? decades ago mankind invented a handy tool to get a notion of the majorities wishes. voting. best dominik Christian Nelson wrote:
A few things: 1. It is probably true that mostly Internet unsavvy people are likely to accidentally send a personal note to the list. 2. I was such an unsavvy person many moons ago, and accidentally sent a personal reply to an email list that probably would have landed me in court. Though that would have happened less due to the content of my note as to the litigiousness of the person I snarkily referred to in my note, the effect would have been no less unpleasant. Luckily, the list was moderated. So, I appreciate the impulse of the exec. committee. However, 3. The only response I've received to one of my contributions to this thread was through private back-channel, not via the list. I suspect that may be due to the list change. Still, 4. I'm not sure anyone would have found this private exchange all that edifying and am sure most list members would have found it a waste of time to read. In addition, 5. In carrying on a private conversation with someone from the list, the possibility of interacting more closely with someone on the list opened up. So, I'd suggest that its tough to be dogmatic about what position the exec. committee and/or the membership should take on this topic. _______________________________________________ The Air-L@listserv.aoir.org mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org
