X-Message-Number: 16628 Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2001 06:00:15 -0500 (CDT) From: (Will Dye) Subject: Please move off-topic discussions elsewhere I hate to be cranky about this, but until better filtering mechanisms are in place, the quality of an unmoderated list like CryoNet depends almost entirely on the self-discipline and courtesy of each participant. I implore the members to please, please raise the standard much higher for posting discussions that are only tangentially related to cryonics. I could walk into pretty much any bar in the country and easily start a discussion about sex. I could walk onto pretty much any college campus in the country and be brought into a similar discussion -- wether I wanted to hear it or not. The Internet has plenty of forums available for such matters. There's really no need to clog up CryoNet. Please, take off-topic discussions off the list. You can still have the conversation; I'm not stopping that. I'm just asking you to have the discussion elsewhere, so that the rest of us are not forced to filter through your conversation when searching for information about cryonics. --Somewhat-grumpy-but-still-he-has-a-point willdye Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=16628
