I have been on both sides of the fence, and with this thread I am with
Scott.
I have played the lazy email subscriber role where I didn't want to
subscribe to something (like midrange non-tech) simply because it would take
30 extra minutes of my week and I rationalize off topic postings by saying
to myself "most of the same people will be on both the lists".
The reality of the situation though is that there are many people here who
could care less about COMMON's pricing and would rather go to the horses
mouth vs. theorizing and debating matters. In the end this wastes our time
because I DO try to read most messages that come through all the lists I
follow so I can provide input and "help a brother out".
Anyways, why doesn't everybody just email COMMON their questions and then
piss'n'moan to them about their pricing so the complaining can actually do
some good.

Hi Paul,
Be nice. A lot of folks aren't subscribers to David's other lists.
With all due respect, it's NOT because they weren't invited to join the
other lists (such as MIDRANGE-NONTECH).
It's because they don't want to read volumes of messages about non-technical
things that people don't want to subscribe to the other lists. You're doing
these people a disservice by posting unrelated stuff to the mailing list --
you're not respecting their wishes.
