Re: PLEASE!


I agree with you, Steve. Nothing wrong with getting to know each other
a bit better. Some off-topic exchanges, so what. I am sure the net
result will be less unnecessary communication over time (and thus
more useful exchanges).

P.S. Yet another top-posting from me (I find top-posting more
appropriate when there is no excerpt I want to indicate I reply
to and the entire message is > 4-5 lines; otherwise I merge both.
So far no complaints :-).

Over the last week or two, this NG seems to have drifted away from the
embedded group that it is. Postings have been made expressing political,
religous, and personal opinions far from the charter of this NG. Personal
attacks have been made on individuals for expressing their opinions.

Please take these postings to personal e-mail or some more appropriate NG.

Yes, it's true. There's been a right old "setting the world to rights around
the water cooler" chinwag.

And very good-humoured it's been too. (I saw one personal attack, which was
challenged, and the poster apologised immediately.) Despite a multiplicity
of viewpoints, it's been cogent, mature, frank, but fair. (Which for Usenet
is almost unheard of ;).) I'd like to say thanks and huge respect to the
posters for keeping it that way.

But yes, you're right, it was OT. It made for an interesting distraction
from real work, though ;).
