Why are you here? Was Re: [Coco] Why DECB is important to OS-9 folk.

[Robert Gault]

It does not matter why readers are here as long as they are. They will 
respond to messages when the subject matter as indicated by the title 
attracts their interest. Perhaps they just enjoy reading messages on 
subjects that interest them but are too shy to actually respond.

What is important is that the subject line (title) reflect the content 
of the message. We don't need threads that last for months, cover 20 or 
more topics, but are under mismatched titles. Interesting content under 
mismatched titles are very likely to be missed as spam.

As for why I am here, most of the subject matter interests me if only in 
passing. I like helping others get their Coco systems working where 
possible. I like learning programming tricks that make the Coco perform 
beyond Tandy's expectations. You can see from my web site (and postings 
to this and other Coco lists) that I've not been a passive reader hiding 
in the background; see publication list.
