Suffice to say that should I be conviced that the signal to noise ratio could not be maintained were the list to go public, I won't take the list public. I'm willing to add some load to myself as moderator to maintain the ratio should the list go public, but not a lot. That's why I'm asking for this meta discussion here. I'm willing to be convinced, but I also expect you to take equal time attempting to solve the problems you're using to convince me. I don't want to make this move lightly or quickly. I do think it *could* be a valuable move. -- J C Lawrence Internet: claw#null,net (Contractor) Internet: coder#ibm,net ---------------(*) Internet: clawrenc#cup,hp.com ...Honorary Member Clan McFUD -- Teamer's Avenging Monolith... </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <UL><LI><STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A NAME="00146" HREF="msg00146.html">META: Making the list public?</A></STRONG> <UL><LI><EM>From:</EM> S001GMU#nova,wright.edu</LI></UL></LI> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00152.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] C&C and Event Rescheduling</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00154.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] META: Making the list public?</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00146.html">META: Making the list public?</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00138.html">What are the elements of playabilty?</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00153"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00153"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><STRONG>Re: [MUD-Dev] META: Making the list public?</STRONG>, <EM>(continued)</EM> <ul compact> <LI><strong><A NAME="00167" HREF="msg00167.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] META: Making the list public?</A></strong>, Marian Griffith <a href="mailto:gryphon#iaehv,nl">gryphon#iaehv,nl</a>, Fri 18 Jul 1997, 00:23 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00190" HREF="msg00190.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] META: Making the list public?</A></strong>, clawrenc <a href="mailto:clawrenc#cup,hp.com">clawrenc#cup,hp.com</a>, Sat 19 Jul 1997, 01:52 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00172" HREF="msg00172.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Public Archives (META: Making the list public?)</A></strong>, Brandon Gillespie <a href="mailto:brandon#roguetrader,com">brandon#roguetrader,com</a>, Fri 18 Jul 1997, 03:45 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00146" HREF="msg00146.html">META: Making the list public?</A></strong>, S001GMU <a href="mailto:S001GMU#nova,wright.edu">S001GMU#nova,wright.edu</a>, Wed 16 Jul 1997, 20:31 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00153" HREF="msg00153.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] META: Making the list public?</A></strong>, clawrenc <a href="mailto:clawrenc#cup,hp.com">clawrenc#cup,hp.com</a>, Thu 17 Jul 1997, 03:44 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </ul> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00138" HREF="msg00138.html">What are the elements of playabilty?</A></strong>, clawrenc <a href="mailto:clawrenc#cup,hp.com">clawrenc#cup,hp.com</a>, Wed 16 Jul 1997, 09:58 GMT <LI><strong><A NAME="00136" HREF="msg00136.html">Docs uploaded</A></strong>, Chris Gray <a href="mailto:cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA">cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA</a>, Tue 15 Jul 1997, 11:37 GMT <LI><strong><A NAME="00130" HREF="msg00130.html">coord-based recap?</A></strong>, Huibai <a href="mailto:ashen#pixi,com">ashen#pixi,com</a>, Mon 14 Jul 1997, 13:39 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00403" HREF="msg00403.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] coord-based recap?</A></strong>, clawrenc <a href="mailto:clawrenc#cup,hp.com">clawrenc#cup,hp.com</a>, Wed 06 Aug 1997, 02:25 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL></BLOCKQUOTE> </ul> <hr> <center> [ <a href="../">Other Periods</a> | <a href="../../">Other mailing lists</a> | <a href="/search.php3">Search</a> ] </center> <hr> </body> </html>
