I have been on this list for many years, since before Mike Devour abandoned
it.
While it is a list for discussing colloidal silver, I saw and appreciated very
much some of the "off topic" things that were discussed. I found many members
had knowledge that was of help in many health-related issues.
Usually, the OT initials keyed me in, so that I could simply delete it if I
chose.
So my point is, why not just continue, or send an OT message and then we can
discuss it elsewhere if it offends?
Thanks,
Sally

I do agree that there should be an "off topic" section for people who aren't
directly discussing colloidal silver. It's understandable that during these
recent months of extraordinary and unusual circumstances, some of us would veer
from a CS-only discussion. However, for those who signed on to this egroup
solely to discuss colloidal silver, I can understand their frustration at not
receiving posts that are relevant to them.
Mike Devour abandoned this group years ago, leaving it without a moderator.
After that--and this is from my memory of awhile back, so I might be missing
some details or mis-remembering--some members got in touch with him and asked
him to either return to moderate, or else give them control of the group so
they could moderate the group themselves. That request was not met. (If anyone
has something to add or correct, please do so.)
This leaves the group without moderation, and without a way to ban or remove
members.
So my question is, how do we fix this? Moving the group so it can be moderated
is very likely going to cost money. Are members willing to pay for that
privilege? If so, how much money? (This leads me to the question, *who* is
paying for the group now? Because eskimo.com is a server, and servers cost
money.)
If the majority of people don't want to donate funds, is there any way to
separate off-topic people from on-topic people, cyber-wise? Or must we simply
put "OT" in the subject line so people who don't want to see those posts can
simply delete them? Of course, the subject line itself generally gives a clue,
but I *can* understand someone not wanting to have their Inbox cluttered with
what they consider irrelevant information.
So . . . any suggestions (made in a civil tone)?
