As a CLUE-Admin, but in the end not a Moderator of the CLUE Lists (I do not think we ever had such for that matter), I would concur with David Anselmi.  Unlike Dave though I tend to be more "quiet" or "lurking" on the lists with an occasional posting to contribute now and then.

Also to note, I am moving this thread to CLUE-Talk which is more appropriate for this subject matter.

In regards to "OT being OT"...this happens with practically most LUGs and user group lists.  Eventually the thread will simmer down and close though.  Lucky for some like myself, I get these lists in Digest format so I can view them all at once to assist with "filtering" out topics and such to my personal tastes. ;-)

Additional in regards to the CLUE-Jobs original posting, there is some discussion on the CLUE-Admin list about what to do in regards to the Yahoo Group being a bit "dead" or "stale" at this time.  More to come later since I have picked up the reigns here to see what can we do to assist the CLUE Members in regards to this.
