I stick around here because I like this list. It's usually low-traffic and there are a few intelligent, international and connected members who once in a blue moon have something important and interesting to say.

hm ... in this case u could , but really SHOULDN'T use EXACTLY the same paragraph for the "kraftwerkfans" yahoogroup , simply because as THIS is jus' a simple mailin' list & the "kraftwerkfans" yahoogroup is a group , which has INDEED_MUCH_MORE_OPTIONS ( see my last message here for reference !!! ) , i wouldn't even dare to compare these two communities , because ALL they really have in common is that fellows "kraftwerkfans" are members of them both & that SOME messages are posted to both groups !!! that's really all they have in common !!! From: omegaChance <omegaChance@firemail.de>

im sure a lot of people joined that list from here when he first introduced it, but its really lack luster, and I cant say he's done much to make people want to convert there fulltime!

okay ... then PLEASE tell me , WHAT_EXACTLY should be done to "make people want to convert there fulltime" , omega ??? *pure_curiosity*

I like it too, I prefer no moderation,

well ... in this case "no moderation" simply means ANARCHY & i was NEVER a "fan" of that ... nor EVER will be & can still only wonder , WHY especially "kraftwerkfans" are sooo damned keen on what some people here like to call "freedom of speech" , what indeed is nothin' else than "FREEDOM_OF_SILLINESS_&_STUPIDITY" most of the time , imho ... sorry !!! :-/

and the only times I hate it is when idiots have flamewars.

... which HAS_NEVER & also WILL_NEVER happen in the "kraftwerkfans" yahoogroup , because it has a structured moderation & some VERY_REASONABLE_&_ALSO_RESPONSIBLE people take care of that group , which i've also said here MANY_TIMES_BEFORE , but by now it seems to be very obvious for me that some people simply DON'T_WANT to listen to LOGICAL_&_REASONABLE arguments here & instead of it jus' prefer their "state of ANARCHY" , which is rather sad ... imho , of course !!! *sigh* :-o btw : the ONLY reason that i can see , why some people DON'T want to join the "kraftwerkfans" yahoogroup is that they simply DON'T_WANT to become a part of that groups system ... where u MUST_HAVE your own yahoo id & password to actually use ALL the possible features & functions of that groups , but that's basically JUS'_LAZINESS for me & , sorry !!! :-/ otoh , maybe people are simply TOO_AFRAID to lose their "state of ANARCHY" that they've got already for sooo long here & jus' hate it to be "moderated" by a guy like me , eh !? *BWG* ;-))) anyway ... make up your own minds & then become or stay a part of the community , where u feel that u simply fit in the best , fellows !!! ;-) p. s. : as html contents will simply be discarded from ALL "kraftwerkfans" yahoogroup messages , we also have ABSOLUTELY_NO_PROBLEM with that in the daily digests , which is rather good & soothin' ... imho , of course ... again !!! *sly_grin* ;-) however ... many greetinx again , oh jay ;-) *~\^/~*
