F2C09 Mailing List
If you have comments on F2C09, you may post them to F2C09@elist.isen.com. To see previous posts to F2C09, you can see the archives here.
It’s a moderated list. Here are my thoughts on that:
I’d like to encourage contributors to this list to understand that there’s 225 people here, not all of whom wish to spend the bulk of their day monitoring posts. Most of these 225 **do** care about the critical issues we’re discussing, but if we want our community to be large and expand, we need to make it easy for all of its members to follow the discussion.
Dave Farber’s list is widely read because it is heavily edited. I’m going to do the same with F2C09. [Note: Dave F. rejects most of my posts.]
Henceforth, I’ll tend to reject posts that depend on the reader’s knowledge of previous posts. I’ll tend to reject posts that are cryptic, obvious, or poorly written. I’ll discourage posts in the form of in-line comments. I’ll filter for emotional inflammation and unsound argumentation.
I’ll tend to accept well-written, well-thought-through posts that stand on their own, that are easy to read and understand. I’ll accept posts that make sound arguments. I’ll accept posts that charm me and make me laugh, and that teach me new things patiently.
Please, from now on do at least one self-critical read-through before hitting “send.”
