[cobalt-users] Ridiculous Thread

[Craig Bernstein <cobalt-users-admin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

You guys are hilarious.  Here is my one and only comment:

The original message was a marketing stunt and not appropriate on this list. 
"I have a new package for Cobalts and am willing to give away five free 
copies, email me off-list if you're interested," fine.  Running the free 
software lotto on my server and driving the signal to noise ratio to almost 
zero, not fine.

As for the "conversation" that followed -- if you want to use this list to jab 
at each other and complain so be it.  It will become less and less useful 
until I shut it down because it doesn't serve its original purpose anymore. 
Instead, may I suggest PRIVATELY emailing your thoughts to a user you feel is 
diminishing the value of the list?  Conversely, if you get email from a couple 
of people complaining that you are off-topic or spammy perhaps you should 
review your post and ask yourself why?

The only reason I'm posting at all is because I noticed a big wad of 
unsubscribes today, which made me check the archives to try and figure out 
what was going on.  These threads do drive people away.  It's your list to 
ruin, folks -- I just work here.
