[Osmf-talk] Quality of discourse

[Bob Gambrel]

It seems like monthly or so, about the time a board meeting is announced
that the silly emails start pouring in. I share the same frustrations that
others have about the negativity (and seemingly uselessness) of the
discussions. I have normally just started deleting the emails as they come
in.

I plan now to just unsubscribe.

For those of you who enjoy it, just keep on bickering.

You have lost me.
