[Sigia-l] Being considerate of others (Off Topic Posts)

[Subir Kumedan]

 I've been on this list a year - and there are days - the hard ones, where I
just end up deleting a bunch of messages after looking at a couple. And come
close to getting off the list. In the end I stay, since there are nuggets of
great information that pop-up.

IMHO, an OT rule would NOT help, since a lot of times, IA topics usually
start off rather practically and end up being philosophical discussions. If
people would be mindful of others' time, and mark it as OT, when it starts
going tangential or philosophical, it would really help me, maybe others as
well.

Then again as IA/ID/UXDs our birthright is to argue, so in more ways than
one, this list follows true to form :)

Cheers,
Subir

I guess this would mean you're leaving the list too?

Seriously, I've long since accepted that the signal to noise of this
unfiltered list is just too high, and my solution was to set up a filter
that deletes postings from He-Who-Is-Too-Prolific (incidentally, I actually
filter two people.)

The sad thing is, occasionally He-Has-Something-Interesting-Too-Say
but does not understand the concept of brevity.

In the end, I catch some of this -- unfortunately this burdens each and
every one of you with the job of filtering the list for me. I thank you all.

I personally think it's abusive, but since no one seems to want to move this
list to full moderation, there is no other solution for me if I want the
knowledge this list shares.
