Hi all,
I've been meaning to respond to some of the things Jay raised in his
message
several days ago.
Jay writes, "the OT restrictions are, frankly, too restrictive, and
typically
lead to rather mundane, fungible discourse." I'm surprised by this, because
the
"OT restrictions" are fairly mild. As noted by the FAQ, they are
essentially
(1) don't openly trade bootlegs on this list, (2) don't personally attack
other
list members (e.g., "your taste in music sucks" is OK, but "you and your
people
suck" is not), and (3) don't post spam or commercial messages to the list.
You
can see more detail at: http://tv.obbard.com/listfaq.html#2b
Everything else is basically up to the discretion of the list members. >
Jay writes "give me a fucking break!" with regards to a past conversation
on
"Yonki Time". If you're not interested in a discussion about "Yonki Time",
I
don't blame you, but you can just hit delete. >
I'm glad to continue discussing this topic with anyone who is interested,
on-list or off-list. If there's enough interest, perhaps we can set up a
"sister" list, like "Television Fans Discuss non-Television Related
Things".
Thanks,
Philip
