[CMS-Forum] Article: What is the value of a Content Management System?

[Bob Doyle]

Hi Paul,

Will you please read the Netiquette FAQ and advise me (off-list) as to 
whether we should put your posts under moderation?

http://www.cmsreview.com/NetiquetteFAQ.html

Note especially

    * No ad hominem attacks
    * Keep meta-discussion to a minimum; we’re here to discuss content
      management, not the operation of this list.
    * Keep etiquette and topic reminders polite and off-list. (List moms
      appreciate reminders from listers, but send them off-list please
      with a copy to list-mom)
    * Abusers of these rules will have their posts moderated and edited.
      Repeat abusers will be banned.

For your info, Josh's posts are now moderated.

Josh has also been told (off list) we have a new list for commercial 
messages cms-pr at lists.cms-forum.org

I will prepare a list announcement concerning the purpose and use of the 
CMS-PR list as soon as it is ready.
