[at-l] Topical Off Topic Post

[quoleldil at yahoo.com (Quoleldil)]

I like the AT-L "campfire" metaphor best.
If AT-L winds up with a moderator or minder I'll probably resign the list altogether.
Mostly grown-ups are here and grown-ups can decide what they want to read and what they don't want
to read and know how to hit delete buttons. There are some kids here so we try and keep the chat
PG, though it sometimes slips to R, which is really ok since it's only sometimes ...
Sometimes I lurk, sometimes I don't. Priorities elsewhere don't allow me the time I once spent
here. I don't like the flames into which I've sometimes been drawn over the years, but mostly I've
learned to delete them. Sometimes I'm here for info, sometimes for humor, sometimes for
camraderie. My mood and interests change over time so what I look for, give here, or take here
changes, too. Some folks' opinions I like, some I don't particularly care for, but mostly I'd feel
poorer if people got booted because someone thought someone else wasn't sufficiently topical to
belong around here. Watch, listen, wander off, come back, give some, take some, and jump in when
you can and jump in surprise when someone throws some white gas or a firecracker in the campfire
(unless you saw them do it and are ready for it, in which case give the rest of us a warning) ...
that's about all I'll say on this off topique topic ...
