This mail service blows the previous service away. The previous service had trouble replying with quoted text, which I'm sure many of you remember. Also, I remember that several of us were having trouble with posting to the list at all. Any confusion, or complaints attributed to this service is due to preference, not function. Second, I for one wouldn't mind seeing the FTP posts repeated and updated, because sometimes shit happens and information gets lost. Its pleasing to know that we can find up to date ftp info here. Lastly, what the fuck do you mean by "below the level at which I'd actually consider taking you to task"? On Monday, January 21, 2002, at 02:26 PM, Chris Johnson wrote:
Since you asked...
I do think you might be tooting your horn a touch too often for my taste. Content in addition to "Upload to my ftp" and "How do I do this?", (*and*, in fairness, the occasional "Download from my ftp") would be a show of good faith, but isn't strictly necessary.
Bear in mind however that:
1) You are below the level at which I'd actually consider (politely) taking you to task, especially considering that you *are* providing a public service.
2) I'd personally never tell you to stop, but would, if the need arose, ask you to either consider posting the same stuff somewhat less often, or include actual new content with your posts.
3) You did ask. :) I'm not trying to be the list-police; just sharing my views; feel free to do whatever you'd like...just extend that same freedom to the rest of us...
Also, the old version of the list set the reply to the sender, and there were just as many, if not more, complaints; Lazlo can't please everyone...deal with it. ;)

Subject: RE: FTP posts
Does it matter how many?? I did not know that we were limited to the number of posts. And on that note, I do not like this new version where it sends the post to the list instead of the original list member. If anyone else feels this way about me or the amount of posts that I have been making.....PLEASE feel free to post it to the list. I am only lending space on my comp to get and trade files. My ftp has other stuff on it and list members have been D/L it and I do not mind, otherwise I would lock them into the orb directory. I have not done this and will not. I only expect that persons respect the rules of my ftp and that they toss me a bone once and a while.. So don't chastise me on making postings. There have been people on my site nearly 24/7 since I have opened it up. I have not restricted anyone ever. I may have bumped someone on the occasion when I needed more BW for something I was getting. I try to get good stuff cus I am a music collector and I love the ORB, KLF and much prog trance and various bands from around the world. I use it as a conduit in that way. Over and OUT!!
