Ok this is really getting ridiculous people. I was hoping that KCLUG would eventually pick back up and improve the signal to stupid ratio, but it obviously hasn't.
Instead of attacking the discussion how 'bout making some salient arguements? Or I guess we could just all throw up our hands and wait another 3 or so months until we have this flame war all over again. Let's fix it.
Jason, this post is what finally did it for me. Some tips for your future, it's probably not wise to cuss at the community you have such a vested interest in and for something as silly as mailing list posting formats.
Read that again, it's at a person, not the community as a whole. It accurately and succinctly conveys my frustration.
There are some really important and useful things to be upset and passionate about in the real world, maybe you should take up one of those as your crusade instead?
I have a ton of crusades on my plate. Any one of these is no reason to disregard others. Especially if less that 24 hours of heated email exchange could make a difference...
Your "concerned participation" is driving people away. I'm leaving and I would wager I won't be the only one.
I imagined that it might have that effect. It has before. But then again, anyone leaving this list is making the *same* argument that I am: signal to noise ratio is getting to low. Lets fix it. Don't walk away.
