Hi all,

I've been following (and occasionally posting to) this list, and just 
have some questions regarding the TBAY wars. I'm certainly curious as 
to what everyone thinks of these questions, but I'm very interested 
in the Admins' responses.

First, here is my own simplistic summary of what we have learned from 
the TBAY (and FILK) discussion:

1. Some people hate TBAY.

2. Some people love TBAY.

3. Some people have no strong opinions on TBAY.

4. Even this list, which is comprised of a small percentage of main-
listers, contains posters and lurkers of many diverse opinions, 
backgrounds, etc., who will defend their own opinions to the end.

5. There are relevant Internet access issues for many listees, which 
does have a direct bearing on what they want to receive in their 
email boxes and what they can do online.

Very simplistic summary of the many well-stated opinions, I admit.

Now, my questions:

1. Besides getting the issue about Shaun's post out in the open, and 
allowing him to resubmit it, has anything productive come out of the 
TBAY discussion? Has anything been stated that will make it easier 
for Admins to run the group, and make as many listees happy as 
possible? 

2. If not, how can this discussion be redirected to allow that to 
happen? I'm assuming that the original TBAY questions were asked by 
the Admins in order to get feedback that will help them run the lists 
in a more effective and efficient way. I don't think they just wanted 
to hear about how we all love or hate TBAY, period. (Or did you?)

That's it, thanks!

Danielle
