It could possibly be turning people off to the list who are new to it.
This list has always been pretty open to newcomers and now this club is
telling people "here's something that we can say but you can't because
we've been here longer. Nyah nyah."

> It's also just for fun, a bit of a joke. It's not serious.
Then you won't mind if we call it "the old close-minded codgers home?" If
it's really not serious, take it off the list. I'm not gridsec, cuz I
don't keep up with all the traffic on here, but it certainly doesn't
pertain to SR, IMO. To the list, yes, but not to SR.
Along the same lines, I have the utmost respect for Gurth and his
military related knowledge, but I couldn't really care less about how
many people fit under his stairs. If you have to hide somewhere because of
something you say, maybe you should think a little more before sending it.
Or just take responsibility for it. If Bubba can, so can you.
> If you qualify, you're in.
Count me out. I'd rather just read and talk about SR, not some imaginary
country club with glass walls. And yes, I do delete the so-labeled posts,
they just keep cropping up in otherwise intersting threads.

That would be me for one. Actually, I think I'll sell my beach condo
to some young feller who's only been here a month or so and who's never
even seen SR1 or heard of BITNET.

Probably not.
