vectorlist administrivia

Fellow vectorheads,

Please note that my e-mail address has changed. Please send any private
correspondence to me at Paul_Labuda@Dell.com instead of labuda@dell.com .

To contact Joe and me, no matter what changes our e-mail addresses might
make, send any vectorlist maintenance messages to
vectorlist-request@lists.cc.utexas.edu . If ownership of the list changes
for any reason, the request address above will contact the current owners.
Use it for any complaining about content, questions about on-topic versus
off-topic, etc. Essentially, if you're not sure that something should go to
the vectorlist readership, send it to vectorlist-request instead.

- Paul Labuda

Guys,

        Let's please keep our personal opinions of vectorlist policy in
private email to the list owners (either me or labuda@dell.com.) It's not
on topic, and, worse yet, it makes us look bad. If you have some problem
with list policy, PLEASE let us know in email, NOT on the list.

        I have no control over who subscribes or unsubscribes. Clay
unsubscribed of his own free will (no one drove him out, as is being
insinuated,) presumably in response to something someone else said to him
about his desoldering stations. While I was sad to see him go (as I would
be for anyone who unsubscribed,) what can anyone do? It was his
decision. I think it is a SHAME that some people can't grow up and move
on. If you have a problem with it, bug Clay, NOT the list. The only
person responsible for Clay's unsubscribing from the list was Clay and
Clay alone.

        If you have some problem with this message, PLEASE let me know in
private email, to be considerate to others on the list.

Thanks,

Joe
