>>Hi all,
>>
>>I just saw these long threads and wanted to put my two cents in.
>>
>>First, these lists are absolutely precious to me in many ways. One, it
lets
>>me know someone out there still cares what we do. Thanks for that.
>>
>>Second, I truly consider 90% of the people on this list dear friends. Why?
>>You pay my bills, of course, but also because A) I've met most of you at
>>Origins and GenCon, and B) I'd be on this list if I wasn't involved with
>the
>>company. I love Deadlands as much as the rest of you. (Well, probably a
>>little more. ;)).
>>
>>BUT, the most important reason I stay on the list (and for those of you
who
>>don't know, this isn't a PEG-run list) is because of the wonderful
attitude
>>everyone has here. When we do great work, we're patted on the back. When
we
>>screw up, I get helpful constructive criticism so that I can do better
next
>>time. What I don't get--that every other list I've ever seen has tons
>of--is
>>moronic netheads bitching and whining for the simple fact that no one can
>see
>>their face. As I've often said of these types, they usually have one hand
>on
>>the keyboard and another down their pants.
>>
>>We are blessed on this list with having very few negative people--a near
>>miracle on the internet. Let's please keep it that way.
>>
>>And for the recent negative comment about the moderator, I'm very
>>disappointed with that remark. The "hands on" moderater for this list give
>>*tons* of time of his own free will--he doesn't get anything from PEG--and
>in
>>5 years I haven't seen him get out of line with anyone (or if he did
>swiftly
>>apologize for it). When he is tough, it's because someone threatens to
ruin
>>the harmonious enthusiasm we have here, and for that I thank Allan (and
>>Afterburner!) wholeheartedly and publicly.
>>
>>The simple truth is that the gaming industry is very difficult. I rely on
>the
>>list for its feedback and most of all to stoke my enthusiasm for trudging
>on.
>>Should those things die, I'll unsubscribe from the list. If that should
>>happen, I'm sure my enthusiasm for this industry will wane as well, and
>that
>>might be the day Deadlands wanders off into the sunset. That's not a
threat
>>for everyone to never say anything negative, of course, just to do so in a
>>respectful way to the other good folks on this list.
>>
>>Thanks Allan and Afterburner for your constant vigilance, and thanks to
the
>>99% of you who are here because you like gaming and the people who play
>them.

>>We're all gamers.
