[boc-l] ADMIN: Annoyance or interested?

[Arin Komins]

Most of the activity that I'm following these days is on Facebook, so I think we can probably let the list die a natural death.   

Thanks!

Folks,

Mr. Mumford is, once again, up to his old tricks of a seemingly endless stream-of-consciousness set of rants. As I remarked to a friend (and the owner of the host servers), I'm not quite sure if it happens because he's started up on drugs or he's stopped taking them.

In any event, I would like some input from the list community as a whole - are you comfortable with / welcoming of his on-going rants or shall I, once again, place him on moderated status (with, honestly, the expected result of my probably not letting anything from him through).

Please note: 1) this is going to the list as a whole, so he's seeing this as well; 2) feel free to respond either privately or publicly; 3) this truly is an honest request for input.

There is, basically, nothing else that happens on this list, so I feel like, on the one hand, letting him rant on isn't necessarily "bad". On the other hand, I'm pretty sure that this wasn't what most of you were looking for.

And then, finally, on the gripping hand (look up "The Mote in God's Eye", by Larry Niven, for explanation), there's even the question of whether the BOC-L list should continue as a list at all. It certainly seems that, with nothing to discuss ... it might even be time to allow it to peacefully pass into the night.

Please - consider the discussion now open.

YnsHLM,
Ben
