I vote for avoiding these discussions altogether. Let anyone send out anything. If you don't like it, delete it, filter it, whatever, rather than spend your time and clog everyone's inbox policing. This is a group of consultants, let them discuss as they wish. If it becomes a rampant problem, we'll know it, and we'll deal with it then. Right now, it just seems like a real small but vocal minority has an issue. If you don't like what this list is, from either direction, splinter off. A candid suggestion to first try the regular, dedicated support channels is in order, anything more is ridiculous and clogs the inboxes of those of us following.<br>

Because it seems that the overwhelming majority of this list wants this to be a place that consultants can ask whatever questions they want to one another. <br><br>I am more than happy to help other consultants with support questions, if I can, in a way that I do not want to help end-users. Therefore, I like the idea of a consultant only community helping one -another with support and/or business questions.. <br>
<br>However, it seems like there is a small but very vocal group on this list of quite uptight folks who feel that their mission is to dictate what can and cannot be discussed here. <br><br>I put out a poll where almost 90% of people said anything Drupal related is ok, but the minority persists in their policing.<br>
<br>I think it would probably be helpful if the owner of this list just came out and said what they want it to be, so we can stop this constant talk over what does and does not belong here.<br><font color="#888888"><br>Sam<br>

</blockquote></div><div><br>Well, the annoyance would be largely warranted as there is a dedicated support list (<a href="http://lists.drupal.org/listinfo/support" target="_blank">http://lists.drupal.org/listinfo/support</a>) and unless I missed your post to it, you never even tried there. People sign up to the support list in order to provide answers to these types of support questions. Why not make use of that resource and willing audience rather than quite randomly fire it off to an only tangentially related mailing list? That does come off as rather rude ("I won't take the time to put this in the proper place, but hope that you will take the time to solve my problem")<br>
</div><br>That said, I do hope you find your fix.<br><br></div><br>
