[Dixielandjazz] DJML Topics

[Robert S. Ringwald]

Mike,

I was not the one who jumped on anyone for mentioning the dentist drill 
music.  It was some other members.

It clearly states in the DJML FAQ that the moderating of subjects should be 
done by the DJML moderator and not by members.

If anyone has a complaint, I'd appreciate that they write to me and not post 
it on the List.

As far as the war thread goes, it was originally brought up because a 
musician and former Listmate is interviewed in several segments.  Between 
that and the 1930 and 1940 music used, it is a natural to be commented on 
here on DjML.

>From that, a few people mentioned a few things about the war.  This is a 
natural conversation -- Just as if you were standing at the bar talking. 
One theme leads to another.

If the thread deviates a little, I let it run its course.  It usually goes 
away on its own accord.  If it doesn't, then eventually I have to ask that 
it be stopped.

I try to use common sense in moderating this list.  Some folks think I am 
too lenient and some folks think I am too rigid.  We have 350 members, all 
with different ideas.  you can't please all of the people, all of the time.

Over all, compared to most lists, this is a very friendly group and it stays 
pretty much on topic most of the time.

Best,
