Flaming fish kills and "hate-mail"

[Paul lavely <lavelyp@UCLINK4.BERKELEY.EDU>]

This morning I read a post from Ms. Gawarecki. I asked "May I ask how 

this has anything to do with the topic of this list - RADIATION 

SAFETY?" I had intended my email to be to Ms. Gawarecki and not 

radsafe. However, it went to radsafe. I have now been asked why I was 

"flaming" and/or sending "hate-mail" about Ms. Gawarecki.



I do not see any flame nor do I see it as what was termed 

"hate-mail"; however, I apologized to her for appearing to have 

singled HER out on radsafe.



I was simply tired of reading the seemingly endless posts on off 

topic subjects.



I ask ALL OF YOU who have posted on this subject (and anyone else 

including the moderator) - What does the topic of thermal fish kills 

have to do with the purpose of the list server?



Yes, I can already hear the "because its about nuclear power." If you 

feel a subject (in this case thermal fish kills) is "on topic" 

because it somehow relates to nuclear power should we also have 

detailed radsafe discussions of snubber reduction, post maintenance 

testing, pipe wipe analysis, cable separation, diesel generator 

availability, or other items that have a very limited or no relation 

to the radiation part of nuclear power and have no relation to 

radiation safety?



That is, not every item from the NRC or EPA that COULD have an effect 

on nuclear power appears appropriate to be posted to this list.



I feel the same about the "legionaires disease," "Norm's final words 

on dead fish," and the attacks with no information in the "what about 

this Norm?"  threads. What do these have to do with the purpose of 

THIS list.



Perhaps you can refer to recent comments from Daniel Mackney and Kim 

Merritt on off topic posts ("Still going on").
