At the risk of incurring Eric's wrath, I am a member of the "other list." Yes, sometimes the OT threads get out of hand. At the time Rick Kirkham was a member, it happened to be a period of unusual OT activity. He was not shy about verbalizing his disapproval (quite the contrary, in fact). We were glad to see him go.

Just a post to say goodbye to all of you. I've decided to leave TECHWR-L for other lists that actually foster a sense of community.

Bill forgot (????) to mention that he is an ADMIN of another tech
communicator's list. Note that "fostering a sense of community" is a code
that means "allowing unlimited OT postings including personal messages
between list members". On some days *all* the posts on Bill's list are OT.
While I was a member of it for a few weeks, I can't remember a day when even 20% of the posts were on topic. Few of its members seemed to have any work to do, and they were obnoxious and discriminatory to newbies. (Which might be one reason why so few on topic issues were ever posted to it.)
