Quirky and amusing things and List Etiquette [RE-wrenches]

[William Miller]

Michael:

I seen to recall that you have been having some internet connection
problems.  You may not have received the affirming replies to my suggestion
that we open this list up just a little.  This is in order to use this
forum to foster a bit more of a social community among members of this group.

Also, many from outside California wanted a chance to "eavesdrop" on
discussions about our trials and tribulations in the event their state
adopts a net metering law.  This should be a most important factor in
deciding whether to split the list, not on the volume of traffic.  I hope
this list is operating as some sort of democracy and not at the sole
discretion of it's moderator.

I, for one (and I've heard others agree) wish to participate in a less
rigid discussion environment.  I would welcome the opportunity to have a
beer with any one of our 199 subscribers.  Lacking that opportunity, a
chance to trade an occasional bit of wit would seem to cause no harm.
Others on this list have echoed that sentiment.  I say we loosen up just a
bit!

William

consensus out of that affinity group!
