> So why did you filter AND complain. This is getting old really fast and I'm not going to debate this on the list any further after this because it's already taken up too much bandwidth. Flame me if you want. If you look through the chronology of messages about all this, there was: 1) a long and protracted sticker debate 2) a vote call 3) vote results 4) someone asking why there weren't that many votes (using a subject line I hadn't filtered yet) 5) my response to (4) along with a few others stating that we had tuned out 6) withdrawal of the sticker project, presumably based on (5) 7) whining that curmudgeons like me killed the sticker project So, I didn't "complain" but only answered (4) stating why I personally tuned out. If the sticker organizers can't take the fact that these kinds of projects aren't always going to have 100% buy-in, then they shouldn't do it. The funny thing is that I'm not against the sticker idea at all. I will buy one, but I don't have the time to read all the messages on it and I wouldn't have said anything at all if it weren't for (4) but merely waited for the winner to emerge. I'm sorry for the protracted discussion on this, but I refuse to get blamed for killing the list sticker project. -Karl Karl and Kristina Bloss, Trexlertown, PA '87 Westfalia Weekender "Beverley" - 194K miles http://www.enter.net/~bloss/vw/ PA/NJ Vanagon owner's mailing list: http://www.enter.net/~bloss/vw/pavanagon/ |
