Re: Moderated List
I am in the group that would most likely leave if Mike is allowed to
continue posting his trash. I am a Euphoria beginner and would likely give
up on the language without this group. I subscribed to the list to be able
to ask questions of the experts in the language, not get flooded with pages
and pages of profanity and indecency. I get enough unwanted mail in my email
inbox as it is.
I've never heard of a listserv where one troublesome user couldn't be
expelled. Or is it that you are just hesitant to do it, Robert? From what I
am reading, there are a healthy number of users who will be leaving if he
continues to be a part of this group, and I can't imagine that will be good
for Euphoria.
The post below referenced both a pro and con opinion of Egroups. I can tell
you that I am the owner of an Egroups email list, and it works *very* well,
and I think it would be ideal for the Euphoria group. It is easy for the
owner to either subscribe/unsubscribe users manually or to let them sign up
themselves. You can have a moderated or unmoderated list. Maintenance is
accomplished through an easy web interface. Please consider it, Robert,
before you lose many of your valuable users.
In my humble opinion, it makes no sense to let one jerk ruin it for everyone
else who is genuinely interested in just learning a fascinating programming
language. I say kick out the jerk.
Just my $.02,
Scott Henry
