As I've said numerous times before, discussion of this is OFF TOPIC. I'm finding having this discussion over and over again to be the most annoying thing in email. Snerf.

And as I've said numerous times before, top, bottom, inline posting, as long as you leave it understandable and trim the excess, I don't care.

David Griffith, please remove your inflammatory signature. Until you do, you are on moderation and I'll remove the signature myself, but you'll have to wait 'til I get online to check.

Sorry. I didn't think my .sig would become the centerpoint of something.

In America, we respect the rules of private forums such as Usenet
(Usenet is not run by the government, therefore not "public" by USA
definitions). As this is a private forum, the members of which who have
chosen moderators to enforce the group rules of conduct, any action of
the moderator is considered to be "the will of the people" here.

I fully support our moderator in any action he takes to keep the content
of this forum in line with the rules of this forum.

Clue.

Neither moderated usenet newsgroups nor moderated yahoo groups allow the users to select the moderators.

In both cases, moderators are chosen at the start-up of the group, usually chosen by the person most responsible for start-up.  In most cases, when the moderators seek new moderators they ask for volunteers and then select the most suitably-tempered volunteer(s) they get.

It's not very democratic.  It's more republican.  At least for these social milieus, it generally works pretty well -- and anybody who doesn't like it is welcome to go start their own group, at least on yahoo, facebook, etc.

Nowadays, usenet is pretty well deprecated.  I moderate a usenet group and wouldn't mind if it went away, since we haven't had an on-topic post in several years.  However, we WILL have at least a few on-topic messages soon, since there's a related group that I actively seek to have removed, as it's far outlived its usefulness, and the RFD /CFV for that group will be announced on the group I moderate.

I would vote FOR a CFV to completely pull the plug on usenet, as long as all the posts were suitably archived.  Everything.  Even including such divisive stuff as the Jammu-Kashmir debate and all the netkook fodder.  I still get tickled when I think about alt.karlmaldens.nose

It's not even republican, it's a plain old dictatorship.
The group owner (and his cronies) decides what's on and what isn't,
and frankly I'm just fine with that.

You know beforehand who the owner is, and you are free to leave at any
time (can't do that with some real life dictators, haha).

Anyway, long live the king!
Steve doesn't get any thanks for the time he puts in running this list
and the others, it's really way out of line to give him grief over
doing his job.

Did any of you even notice how he put Dave on moderation in order to
remove the offending signature for him?
That's what I call service.

Lol, since when is a Yahoo group a democracy?

Benevolent dictatorship is a better description.

If you wonder why a fair chunk of the world thinks a fair chunk of the US is
nuts, well, there's exhibit A.

Ya gotta admit it's pretty funny though.

It's occurred to me that there might be a link between behaviour and email
signatures. Most people have given up on them these days anyways, as indeed
had Jeremy.

If you look at companies, the bigger they are, the bigger the blah blah
legalese they attach to the email, and insecure small companies compensate
by beefing theirs up.

So do individuals behave the same? For example many of the machining groups
have gunsmiths in them, and I can't recall one who has a signature block,
let alone a "defending mah rights" one. The ones that do, though...

I reckon there might be grant money in researching that. And I thought of
it first, so hands off you mongrels. Go find your own gravy train.

As for the shelving vinyl like you find in the supermarket, it's usually a
bit on the thin side. Sign vinyl is thicker. Putting it on some heavy
paper first might help.

The problems people have with Brother lasers is the toners isn't re-fusable,
so once on the paper or vinyl etc it won't re-melt and transfer to the PCB.
I've only used HP stuff so I've no direct experience. Toner transfer with
sign vinyl does work.

Thank you DJ! Best response to this sort of post I've ever seen.

And thanks to our benevolent dictator Steven for taking the time to setup, run, and police this list with a velvet iron fist.

I have personally made the mistake of trying to run a list as a democracy and I can tell you from experience this way is better.

In either case, I'd be willing to bet the young Mr Youngs would stand up and screem about private ownership of property just as much as he goes on about guns and democracy, yet the title of list /owner/ seems to have been lost on him.

"... with Brother lasers is the toners isn't re-fusable ..."

Actually I think the problem is as someone else has suggested, i.e. that the
required fuser temp is much higher. I have a Brother MFC-8500, probably
about 10 years old now, still works fine but not very well for TT. Prints
look fine on paper, even for large dark areas, but it's hard to get the
toner to stick to a copper clad board and the toner isn't dense enough to
completely block out the etch acid. Same problem making transparencies for
photo resist masks.

Hm. An off topic thread being hijacked to an on topic subject.

The mind boggles. ;')

I've heard both complaints, you'd think the higher temperature wouldn't be
that hard to overcome. Pull the fuser from an old Brother laser and use
that for the transfer.

Obviously something different in the chemistry there... Might be like power
coat, the powder fuses at 200C (~400F) but once cured can easily survive
twice that temperature.

I guess it'll remain a mystery.

Actually, that is another point - changing the subject line does not help. It will still show on Yahoogroup as part of the same thread.
