Unsubscribe- check.  There are other ways to make announcements.

And I intend to jump off after the State Dinner...

That much fun over there, huh?
Glad I never got involved.

Its a Universalism. I'm not on the Middle Bridge for a reason. If I need something, I can read the digest.

I'm led to believe the Merry Rose of Atlantia isn't a lot better.

Heck, I even dumped the Textile Guild when the Idiocy quotient went too high.

Be freee!!!!!

"Free your mind, and the rest will follow." Besides, I have pants to work on.

My BP has already dropped.

I'm not shocked.

I think I'm going to unsubscribe, too.

If I want to be snarky to boot, it's not official, anyway ;)

Yes, but given that I am the webminister, I will still be viewed as an official. I still have to behave. And while I haven't called anyone an asshat recently, it doesn't mean I haven't thought it really, really hard.

Oh, no, I agree...as a Seneschal, I'd like to believe it's a useful communication tool. It isn't; there's no criteria for who gets to say what there and there's really no form of moderation, save for a barely-incremental increase from the previous moderator-less state before the 'reboot' earlier this year.

I don't get why there isn't an official list, other than someone set it up and they've gotten to hold onto it. The discussions that take place are often ridiculously uncivil, with people laying thin layers of supposed-humor or not-quite-respect over things that would never be said in person.

I wish the signal-to-noise ratio were better.

I guess there should be a free-for-all discussion list as well as the 'official' EK list...not that that'd change anything ;)

We know people who can make this happen. ;-)

Very true ;) Question is: should we have an official EK list hosted along with everything else, with better moderation? The answer seems simple, but the politics...

I thought it was now the kinder, gentler EK List.

And I am still twitchy... though I have refrained from calling anyone an asshat, this time.

Guess I'm glad I never subscribed, then.

This would all fit better on a forum somewhere. It's ridiculous to get 10 emails a day when you're on digest.

It is.
It's part of why I left that list.

Ah - good for you. I only hear about it from other people. Never cared enough about snarkiness to be involved.

I like snark just fine. Arguing for the sake of arguing makes me twitch.
