Subject: Re: [microsound] Hardware setup

there are plenty of other mailing lists and online
discussions pertaining to this topic, and most of us count on this list to
spare us from hardware issues.

well well, i strongly disagree here. this mail discourageing ppl from sending hardware topics and the situation on the list which allows topics like politics thrive in this list has made me write. i propose a filter for the list, i know a word filter is no good, and a gind of filter where one or more person(s) are reading the contents of all the lists mails before allowing them to the list is also no good, i propose a mind filter, meaning that everybody promices for him/herselfe not to write those topics (not even funny ones) to "this" list, we might even require a wiki site or sth similar noting the topics witch are not allowed in this list so even the ones who might go, "how to i know witch topics are not allowed, stupid system, bla bla...", can go and refresh their memories looking up that page. the ones who still write on those topics should be looked as ..........(i personaly would throw them off the list)   the reason is noise, very disturbing trash info and even the topic name like "politics" streams out this trash. i dont want to be bombarded with such streams of trash and it distrubs me because i have left no choice, i can not escape them even in this list, which i see as a highly aprishiated art list, and (i know it is my personal problem) i dont see art and politics go hand in hand. it is even worse than spam mail. i resently made a new email just for lists so i can escape junk and all that trash, well now it has followed me to one of the lists, the next psycholigicaly logical step is to unsubscribe, but i think most of us understand what are the effects of that.    in analog world we must choose all the sounds we make and the people we invite very carefully so unwilling people do not have to listen to them and reducing the risk unwelcome people show up. in digital world we must not forget that also, but here words are the sounds and lists are the invitations.
i realy hope my mail is of any help,(even when it might be confusing in some places) and hope that we will eliminate at least the most unwanted topics from this list - for EVER.

good day to all

Oswald Grain
