[volunteers] Posting on here

[Rick Moen]

I've removed (once again) the three dots you put at the end of just about
any Subject header for whatever bizarre reason.

> I've been told not to post to a list admin directly.

No, you weren't.

No. that is not what you were told.  I told you that you should send andy
questions or comments about the recent administrative action restricting
your posting to volunteers at lists.svlug.org .  

As it happens, the Volunteers list is also the appropriate place to discuss 
all matters of SVLUG governance.  But that's not what I told you in the mail
to which you refer.

As my friend Richard Couture always says, I'm suorry to hear about 
_your problem_.

If your personal causes include the well-being of [that person], then
feel free to go... um, so to speak.. crazy with that.  But this is not my
problem, and it is not SVLUG's problem.

We have mailing lists to run meetings to arrange and run, a Web site to
maintain, and we also all have full personal lives.  Speaking for myself, I
have a grand total of zero additional time to babysit _you_.  

You have chewed up a ridiculous amount of my time.  Enough.  Time for you to 
go do things that do not cause me trouble for a change.

> I will drop further commentary on the matter

A decent, albeit belated first step.
