Re: Brad's policies

["Craig Ede" <craig.ede@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Brad,

Get a grip, okay? You'll feel a lot better if you just let this unruly group of muchkins do their thing without a lot of topdown listowner crap. Dysfunctional group that we are, we still don't need a Enforcer to clean up our acts for us.

We can all move to free framers after all. Many folks dual post, but a serious boycott of YOUR frameusers list would make the other list a whole lot more attractive to people with questions if your established base of professional users (like Thomas) fled en masse to framers@omsys.com 

Dude, you been hangin' inside the beltway too long or somethin'. Doncha know that the movement is toward LOCAL control. That would mean posters might get to make their own decisions about appropriateness...and be able to make a mistake or two. 

Heavens to Betsy! What anarchy could come of that? And, yes, this is an appropriate topic for the list to discuss onlist rather than behind the scenes.

Dual posted,

OK, people, how long are YOU willing to take this???
IMHO, it's time to consider a joint action against Brad!
At least we should urge every FrameUser to move to Free Framers.
Speak up now. If you don't want to "pollute" the list, send an
email to me and state your point of view.
Every single list member ought to have an opinion of this.

I, for one, remember the times when "framers" was a community run by
a nice admin caring about peoples' opinions, ideas and criticism,
and changed the list accordingly. The admin didn't "own" the list,
didn't kick people off the list, didn't threaten them, and didn't
run the list like a dictator. The times are a-changing, aren't they?

Pissed off,
