List usage (was RE: IBM's failure to provide AD tools)

["jt" <jt@xxxxxx>]

C'mon.. Leif...!

Givemeabreak...!

Do you see anyone /else/ worrying about using the Non-Tech list for non-tech
discussion...?  I'm more than happy to segregate my content.  But not if
nobody else does...!

There IS a lot of blur, between tech and non-tech issues.  I responded to a
post yesterday that had both.  I don't see ANY of this type of discussion
going over to the Non-Tech list.


As far as length, you gotta good point there.  But I'm trying to address the
issue of "What is Wrong With IBM" and you wanna see soundbites.  One of my
*main points* was that you CANNOT effectively address that issue in tiny
little soundbites.

I think it is very difficult to just judge a post by it's length.  I'm still
waiting for my reply to Jon to come through, along with my reply to Janet's
post on OO.  Evidently they were too long.  Well my reply to Jon was short
and succinct, but it included his post as well.  So why is that too long...?
I suffered through longer, BTW.

Anybody that doesn't want to read my posts can clearly identify them.  It
would be impossible for me to OBLIGE anyone to read them.  So I don't get
the argument that they are too long.  YOU control what YOU read a lot easier
than I can abbreviate my posts to mere soundbites.
