[Year 12 IT Apps] OT: Rudd Money and Off Topic discussion

Thu Sep 4 09:13:12 EST 2008

Hi Mark (and all),

Can I suggest a compromise?

The last thing that I (or others) will want to do is to subscribe to a dozen
more lists based on topics that are the topics of the moment - nor would I
really want to subscribe to an 'Off-topic' list for the reasons you have
stated.  This community is so well established that I feel it is entirely
reasonably to have this sort of discussion on this list - it's really
discussions about the football or the weather that are truly 'off-topic'.

If those posting off-topic use the subject header of the message to state
this clearly, then those not interested in reading the emails simply need to
press the delete key (as I sometimes do).  It's a slight inconvenience but I
feel a fair one.

Cheers,
Adrian

I am considering withdrawing from this email list because of the amount of
off-topic emails at the moment.

I know lots of us are involved in the Ruddy money and ruddy networks and
ruddy laptops but I'm not and I'm sure lots of other ITA teachers aren't
either.

Please take these discussions somewhere else.

Yes.  But note that the Lenovo DESKTOP _is_ part of the NSSCF panel.

Oops.  Offtopic  :-(
