As listowner, I have just had to read 3 more messages of a rather
unpleaseant tone and unproductive nature from one subscriber, which have NOT
contributed to the discussion on the list in any degree.
yes there can be problems with injudicious behaviour by a few list members -
this can happen on any list -
but the 3 messages from the same sender muir...@.... , sent in the space of
a few seconds on 22.04.99 have been by far the most upleasant aspect of the
whole few days -
to this individual, if you are so anxious to discuss something else - why do
you not do it?
To everyone else on the list:
SOME PLEASES and THANKYOUS:
*Thankyou to all the 700 odd subscribers who have observed list protocol
over the last few days - and who have just sighed and voted with the delete
button.
*Please if you have a question regarding the use of qualitative software -
or a debate you wish to answer or start - please send a message to the list.
It has been very quiet recently.
*Please if you are upset about conduct on the list - anyone can make a
mistake can't they?- I make quite a few myself; - BUT sometimes a request,
even to a fallible listowner to try to sort things out is more productive
than bellicose complaints TO THE LIST.
*Please do not EVER attach files when sending to ANY DISCUSSION LIST. Send
it to the individual shows the interest.
*Please try not to send repeated questions about the same thing - if you
take the trouble to look far enough back you will find the person who talked
about the subject originally ....OR
ask the List owner - thats me. I will do my best to find the information.
OR..browse the archives of the list at
[log in to unmask]" target="_blank">http:[log in to unmask]
* Please try to note that on any Mailbase list the listowner is always
contactable
at the [log in to unmask] hence, here,
[log in to unmask]
it is the -request bit which makes the difference!
sometimes I am a bit busy - but I will try to help out if I possibly can.
*Please try not to send Unsubscribe messages to the whole list. If you have
lost your instructions - send a message to the listowner. Here are the
instructions:
Send an untitled message to [log in to unmask]
In the text of the message enter:-
leave qual-software
OK thats it - pep talk nearly over.
this list has always been a well behaved though rather quiet at times, list;
(well apart from the unfortunate though enjoyable joke phase (during 1996 I
think it was)- regrettably exacerbated by a recurring mail loop episode,
which occurred roundabout the time that one about how many sociologists does
it take to screw a light bulb in was being circulated (many many times
over).
Seriously, Lets hear from a few software users, or developers, about issues
to do with the list - or further discussion about 'the paper' , to cheer
us all up. Or not.
regards
Ann Lewins
Listowner
