<br>I understand the need for rules to limit excessive off-topic posting. 9/11 <br>rants belong in an impeachment forum only when they specifically address <br>impeachable offenses; most impeachment news doesn't belong in a 9/11 <br>forum. Probably I have crossed the line in this forum a couple of times. <br>Certainly last summer Drew's email volume exceeded my ability to keep <br>up and his high-value posts went unread along with the lower-value ones. <br>I appreciate Drew's insights and his monitoring of a wide range of issues. <br><br>A certain elasticity in the rules is justified. On a formal level, a specific <br>number of off-topic posts per week might be permitted, with any over <br>the limit requiring sponsorship of a county council member. Informally,<br>someone might have confederates submit a share of her off-topic posts, <br>or limits might be invoked only in cases involving complaints. Why would <br>anyone complain? If you don't want to read it, don't! Why should your <br>desire to keep your inbox free of unwanted emails prevent others from <br>benefiting from them?<br><br>Brian<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>> To: fredd@freeshell.org; sosfbay-discuss-bounces@cagreens.org; JamBoi@Greens.org<br>> From: kaisha_marie@comcast.net<br>> Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2008 09:10:27 +0000<br>> CC: sosfbay-discuss@cagreens.org<br>> Subject: Re: [Sosfbay-discuss] Jim Stauffer's high handedly unsubscribingme from regional list<br>> <br>> I appreciate Drew's posts and he is the reason I'm green at all.

In these trying times pretty much everyone, who's<br>> serious about this planet and it turning GREEN someday, has something<br>> to say that is important. That is, information about impeachment,<br>> ending war, healthcare for all, mass transit, bicycling, etc., etc.,<br>> is all good and points towards a GREENer planet. Thus, Drew's emails<br>> should be looked upon as a GOOD thing that will help the GREEN party.<br>> <br>> Cheers,<br>> <br>> Randy W.
