A message to all those who have very little respect for the LS
members who don't subscribe to MD.
Hi Horse
First let me say I have the utmost respect for all those who belong to
either or both of the discussion groups here. If one does not subscribe both
the LS forum and the moq_discuss forum but merely one or the other, then I
do not see what possible difference it makes what is discussed in the forum
they do not subscribe to.

When the LS was set up some time ago it was envisaged that most
people who have some passing regard for the MOQ and what it has
to say would either not join because it wasn't for them or would join
and respect the rules of the forum. No-one was forced to join either
then or later.
>From the start, the rules were made clear that it was to be a
focussed forum and not as free form as MD. This may not suit some
but it certainly suits sufficient numbers for it to continue as it
currently does - complete with rules and moderation.
It is also pretty obvious to most that it is poor etiquette and plain bad
manners to attempt to hijack the current discussion of the sister
forum because you can't be bothered to keep on topic or go through
the legitimate process of moderation. All in all it shows a real crap
attitude and that the main reason for posting is not to try and further
the understanding of the MOQ but for mainly selfish reasons.
If you don't want (or can't be bothered) to join in the LS discussion
you could at least show sufficient respect to those members of LS to
wait until the discussion is finished at the end of the month before
continuing it on this forum.

Hmmm... next moq_discuss will be moderated? Seems like the beginning of the
same type of censorship that exists in the LS. Like I said in a previous
email to John Beasley, I think you and Diana and the others responsible for
the moq forum should be commended for providing a place where ALL ideas
pertaining to the MOQ can be discussed, which is what moq_discuss is all
about. Think for a moment... think about the time that goes into writing
some of the posts here. Think about being told that all that time was wasted
because the moderater has decided your post is irrelevant to the discussion.
Is there a recourse? Yes! And it's moq_discuss.
As long as moq_discuss is an open forum I do not see any problem with
continuing a discussion here that was rejected by the LS. But that's just
me. And those who only subscribe to the moderated LS forum will not be
bothered at all unless they decide to delve into the moq_discuss archives,
right? So where's the problem?
Best wishes
