Yes, I am one of them.

Only said in a generalised sense, not to be restrictive. Perhaps I should
have said "Access"
>>we mostly leave it up to them to do the policing.
Perhaps they need to check more often. Certainly if I were one of the
scrutinisers, I would have spoken up by now.
>>tight a ship as you might be accustomed to on other lists
I don't need a tight ship. Some of the OT posting are very helpful and
often informative - some amusing. BUT "one-liners" bouncing back and
forward between a few people is just too much.
Whatever your reasons, please remember what the purpose of this list is.
It is there, as are all the other lists, to assist people and share
information. There are plenty of joke lists around and if people feel a
need then perhaps they could have a sub-list for those that feel the need to
bounce these sort of things between them.
What you are forgetting is that there are many people ("the silent
majority") who just, like me I would suggest, just groan and hit the delete
key.
All I am attempting to do, is perhaps, respectfully, remind people that
even on OT Friday, there is a limit to what should be acceptable. And this
nonsense bouncing back and forward about strippers and fan dancers is just
one posting to many for me - and that is after 10 odd years! Repartee, for
my part, is not required.
I have no doubt that you and your friend will come back on this, but
before you do please remember that none of my comments are made as a
personal criticism, but only as a reminder that there are others out there
who will also be receiving your postings. Whilst posters might feel that
they have made the "comment of the century", others would not view it as so.
Also, remember, like many others, that I am very appreciative of the much
help that all the contributors have given (freely) over the years. I have
had much help and for that I am very grateful. I do not post very often,
but I read and often take on board the good ideas that come off the list.
Thank you all for that.
Max

BTW Max, this is an Access list. I am not yanking your chain or anything, I
just noticed that you mentioned "sticking to VBA". We do have a VB list as
well which (other than OT Friday) pretty much sticks to VBA and VB.Net.
I am going to make an assumption that you are new to our list and welcome
you aboard. I'll also take this opportunity to explain that we are a
community as well as a "list". There are a TON of developers who have been
on this list for 10 years or more. As such we do tend to get a little more
personal than some other lists. We are friends as well as developers. We
have people assigned to police the list should things get too out of hand
and we mostly leave it up to them to do the policing. But we do not run as
tight a ship as you might be accustomed to on other lists and we like it
that way.
You are of course welcomed to the list, welcomed to contribute and hang out,
but if you expect this list to be "just the facts ma'am", I can tell you up
front you are in the wrong place.
So welcome to the list and I hope you enjoy the community as much as you
enjoy the immense knowledge base that our members bring to the list.

Ps. I have been subscribing to Peach List for some 9 maybe more years now,
so I do understand how it works.

Well said, Charlotte, and hats off to you for declaring it. Apologies also
to Max, who apparently has not grasped that we like to have fun here, in
addition to seeking and obtaining knowledge from the best in the business.
Sorry, Max. In future I shall attempt to make my silly Friday messages
targeted more precisely, to those members who like to take at least one day
a week to have fun. I shall exclude you from this subcategory of this list,
and I mean that in the nicest possible way. I did not intend to ruin your
day.
