>…As an aside:  I have written help and gotten an incomprehensible return that looks like some sort of programming commands and does not address my questions:  how do I find out the topics people on the list are interested in?  When I click on reply does my email go only to my correspondent?  Or to everyone?  If you could just take a minute to explain this site to me it would be a big help.  Thanks! Bill Wallace

 

 

Hi Bill,

 

I assume someone has posted you offlist by now.  I was away camping since Friday morning.  This is what we are about:

 

http://www.buildfreedom.com/extropian_principles.html

 

The reading list needs updated, but the principles are as good as new.

 

Your question might be a good reminder for several on the list who are recent.  List protocols are that if you hit reply to anything, it goes to all subscribers.  We are a transhumanist group, but as you can see we are very open minded about what constitutes on-topic discussions.  There are more focused transhumanist groups such as Eugen’s transhumanist tech, where he is super strict about staying right on topic, but ExI-chat is comfortable pitching a broad tent.  One line replies are allowed, goofing and comedy are allowed.  Good thing: they would have thrown me into the bit bucket 15 yrs ago otherwise.

 

When you reply, trim out everything except the relevant comment, then post below it.  Try to keep it to no more than 5 posts a day, or if you go over, make sure it is something really timely or extremely interesting to everyone.  I won’t do anything much about overposting until someone starts to complain or I get bored with whatever it is you are over-yakking about.

 

Be nice, be fun, you are among friends here.

 

Post away, me lad!

 

Your friendly omnipotent ExI moderator,
