Kinda reminds me of the guy who writes to Digital Press every once and awhile, is very repetitive, and makes no point whatsoever. Things like the house with 2 rows of 12 circles comments, and the guys who steps on the cirle goes left on the score make me scratch my head and want to get some aspirin. And how can his game be "almost complete"? I'm going to go lay down and try not to keep myself awake laughing. :) Yeesh! Glenn, I agree with your decision. There used to be list rules/guidelines (I do remmeber back in the days when I started out that non-2600 programming topics were beyond the scope of this list. This would include QBASIC issues, and I believe it included collecting topics, as well as other subject material). For me, it is getting tiresome to receive a whopping 50 emails at a time in an environment where I can't read them all. I've dumped 6 months worth of stella email into the trash, since I haven't had enough time to catch up on it. I'm wondering if there are OT guidelines, or perhaps code distribution guidelines that need to be defined. Also, I'm not too interested in receiveing every point-release of a game, but primarily the "beta" version, so I can test it for the programmer if need be, and a few earlier revisions. It's quite disappointing to try out one of these versions, to find out one day later that a "bug-fixed" version has been released, even before the author themselves have tried their product out. Such things waste my time. Consequently, I do know of a couple of "lurkers" who were on this list for some time, but left about a month ago due to the unmanageable amount of emails that flooded their Inbozes on a daily basis. Consequently, I'm considering moving on as well (hey, I may as well be honest). Perhaps it would be a good idea to re-establish the guidelines for this list? Obviously, the community has changed (which is not a bad thing). Maybe the guidelines need to change as well? Am I the only one who feels this way? Maybe I'm just getting old and cranky. :) My two cents, -John K.
