I know that programmers tend to be control freaks, but this whole
"do what I say or we'll close the list" seems way over board. Some
of you are letting occasional topics that for some obsessive
compulsive reason you can't ignore and just delete ruin a list that
works just fine. If I leave the list, it will be from the temper
tantrums, not the so called off-topic conversations.<br>

<div>Hi Folks,<br>
<br>
I joined this group several years ago. I used to be an
employment recruiter back when companies still needed
people like me. At the time, I wrote to the group and
asked if it was OK to look for Drupal Consultants to
support a project my current contract needed help on.
(bty I was an inside recruiter working under contract to
a start up.) No one, responded! So I sent out an email
to the group, presenting what I was given by my client.
I received 3 responses and put them all in touch with
the hiring manager who could speak intelligently to the
project. (speaking intelligently to the project was a
plus. I know that is not always the case.) The manager
was blown away. He had never gotten such highly
qualified folks so quickly. The project unfortunately
changed and was postponed. Such is the nature of start
ups. Why wouldn't you want someone like me to post
project requests to this group? It worked and everyone
won. Sure the project changed but I guarantee those
consultants are still in this guys Rolodex. What harm? <br>
<br>
OK, so why am I still here? I'm self employed. You folks
actually talk intelligently to the ins and outs of being
self employed. It's hard work and it's lonely. It still
beats the hell out of wage slavery. I hardly ever write
to you but I read what you have to say and gain from the
stuff that is pertinent to my situation. I have great
deal of gratitude to you for your tips and insights. <br>
<br>
Would you really kick me out because I'm not a Drupal
consultant? <br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Therese <br>

Who is it that would make a decision such as closing
down this list? Is this one person's decision? A
committee? How would it be decided, etc?<br>
<br>
I just posted on DGO a suggestion to elect a
moderator. Let's let anyone who would like to see
the list go on and want to moderate it post what
they think the guidelines should be. Then everyone
can vote for a moderator. Seems that would be a way
to make this list serve the needs of its members in
a fair way.<br>

There are multiple rss feeds for every group
on <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://groups.drupal.org/">groups.drupal.org</a>.<br>
<br>
If we moved the conversation there, you
could use those.<br>
