Luthien,<BR>
<BR>
welcome to the list.<BR>
<BR>
Please rest assured that this list is indeed intended to be a helpful list for all who are interested in opensim.<BR>
<BR>
We strive to keep the tone here friendly and to the point.<BR>
<BR>
As with all public fora and lists, there is a certain amount of noise, some of it in the form of good-mannered in-group banter, and some of it in the form of occasional hateful outbreaks and trolling [1].<BR>
<BR>
The former is acceptable, the latter intolerable.<BR>
<BR>
Other than that, 'please don't feed the troll'. *points at sign at entrance*<BR>
<BR>Best regards,<BR>Stefan Andersson<BR><BR>

Then I thought it was about a serious grudge someone carried. Then it looked like a joke again - a joke though of a variety that required extensive knowledge of complex intrigues.and highly specialized innuendo. <BR><BR>This switched back and forth a couple of times more, and by now it seems like even this switching is part of some game that is played here and, for me, only adds to the confusion. <BR><BR>I have no idea, and probably most other newer list members, what this is all about. I am not interested in games; I came here because I am interested in opensim. <BR>I only know that things like this certainly cause damage to the list, and I wish that whatever it is about would be settled off list. <BR><BR>Duh. Now please, stop it. <BR>Pretty please?<BR><BR>
