[ale] Ale subscribers

[Ron Frazier (ALE)]

Hi all,

You guys please don't fight over anything that I've done, assuming you're talking mostly about me.  Many people have engaged in OT discussions, not just me, by the way.  So, I don't see why I'm being singled out as the bad guy.  If I misinterpreted that, then just forget those comments.

I haven't started any OT threads since "the change", although I've replied to one.  I don't consider a FOSS discussion to be off topic.

Anyway, I'll be glad to abide by any rules that everyone is subject to.

I haven't had cause to complain about Jim.

If the OT list is in operation already, I haven't heard about any way to access it.

Sincerely,

Ron

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, you might want to
call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new email messages very quickly.)
