Dear Stan,
Shal owns GMF and as owner, sets the rules.
I feel that if one doesn't like the rules, one finds another place more amenable to their mode of operation.
I can see where you need to have a very tightly controlled group. My groups are different, and, frankly, I don't see where GMF needs the kind of rigid moderation you require. I didn't know Shal was the owner of the group, but you raise a good point with the above statement. I just need answers to questions about setting up and resolving any problems I have with IO. I would guess about 70% of the messages I see are way beyond me and so they are of no value to me. Also, I think one primary advantage of a group is that it relieves the workload of the people running whatever it is, be it Yahoo or groups.io. From what I have seen, there are only a few individuals who are really answering most of the questions and they appear to be part of the support team, although I could be wrong about being part of the support team. I don't need to belong to a discussion group unless this is the only alternative to getting answers. So, the question is, can I contact the support team (
[email protected] ?) directly with questions instead of going to GMF? If not, then I think GMF needs to be more rigidly controlled instead of letting some messages get through but not approving others.
Stan
