Re: 1711-line Tori posts on L-H

[CLBECKWITH@aol.com]

As a Love-Hounds newbie, I am quite naturally desirous of seeing as much
Kate-related content as possible.  At the same time, I am supportive of an
open-door policy with regard to similar artists, like Tori Amos, as a matter
of principle.  But when off-topic posts swell to 1711 lines, even this open-
minded newcomer has to wonder if the policy isn't occasionally being abused.

Could I please suggest a compromise?  Rather than resorting to extremes of
excluding all off-topic posting from the list (which would be boring, not to
mention a violation of the charter) or allowing anything (which is needlessly
duplicative) why can't there simply be a brief message saying, for example,
"a new comprehensive listing of Tori Amos bootlegs is available from (a
location outside of rec.music.gaffa and Love-Hounds)"?

That would satisfy the needs of Tori fans in the group, and protect mailing
list subscribers from inadvertently receiving a massive off-topic post they
had no idea was coming.  Or is that too sensible? :-)
