Perhaps a "sublist" could be started so all this "auda
bashing/discussing/praising" can be separated from those of us who would
like to come to their PCs read a few of the latest relevant posts and then
get on with their real work (and life).

Instead of wasting an hour or more reading & deleting these posts.

I suppose I could not read them and just delete them all but then again its
like Big Brother....people hate it but still watch/read the posts just in
case there is some relevant/interesting crap (for them) buried beneath. But
like Big Brother there never is...

Some may tell me to "switch channels" but why should I, I/we were here first
reading the day to day posts before more recent "programming changes" were
made to the "Channel" and it has been bombarded with what I am sure most
would agree is non relevant posts for this list.

No doubt I will be responded to in much the same time wasting manner as
others have been responded to. But before you do why not ask auda to start a
new list...say..."bitching§lists.auda.org.au" and just let the rest of us
use the list the way it was intended.

there I've said it..........

Ian

Please back up your statements as to how the raising of these issues is self
serving.

Also what is the purpose of the list as you see it and what are the mores
you refer to.

If you are going to tell me there is a fixed culture then you better qualify
your statements.

Sounds like you are referring to the Ian Smith book of mores in which case
your ego is being stamped upon this forum.

Finally, what is the proper way of raising these issues Ian?  Perhaps I
should have consulted you before I drafted my posts to the list?
