First, I would greatly appreciate it if the new "mystery" poster of Beekeepers at Norfolk
<[log in to unmask]> would sign-in with a name. It's frustrating to dialog to an
anonymous posting especially when they are giving information about Dr. Rodriguez
speaking at the ABF Convention. I think this would be polite to the list.
 
Second, I have no concerns if some people want to subscribe to BestOfBee for what
ever their reason is. If I understand it correctly (please let me know if I don't), one can
have LISTSERV set so that they would not receive any of the posts from BEE-L.
Those on BestOfBee would only receive "the best material (in their opinions)" or  "to
enjoy a filtered version of BEE-L." At the same time they will still be able to post to
BEE-L. This arrangement seems slightly pompous to me. Those on BEE-L will still be
getting all the posts including those from anyone who is on BestOfBee but in their
(BestOfBee) case, they will just be inputing to the list and those on BEE-L will not be
able to directly respond to their post as they will not be getting the posts from BEE-L.
Am I missing something here? It sure smells of an underhand arrangement to me.
 
Always open to replies.
