: After some thought and urging by former members, I have activated
: the new Chat List.
Well, I was wrong in thinking that Savant didn't want to compete. Now, I know that he wants to compete [ even though he already said he had no intention of competing with the original list].
The original unmoderated list quit working permanently. Which left no unmoderated list. So both me and Froggy created one list to replace the original list [on the very same day, unaware that each other did], for a total of two lists to replace the original list. Savant then complained here about that being two too many lists to replace the original [ seeming to mean that he wanted zero unmoderated lists, and to only use this bulletin noard for that].
He already knew that I said my list would basically be unmodderated [ except for real junk like spam]. And already knew that both me and Froggy had already created new lists as a replement to theoriinal list. Yet he is now creating a new unmoderated ocean girl list after already complaining that two is two too many [ which means he really wants no unmoderated ocean girl lists unless they're his own, instead of none as it first seemed] for a total of at least three such lists after complaining that two is two too many.
Well, from his message below, and his other messages here, I can see that he wants to compete, and that I was wrong in believing him when he said he wasn't trying to compete with the original list. Sometimes, I'm too trusting of people. I also already sent out the invitations for my list to everyone on the original list that I still could, days ago. No, I'm not angry. Competing lists that are really competing could make for better lists. I didn't have any intention of competing, but since he wants to compete, I will. Or will try to.
Of course, I think the one remaining list as a replacement to the original list should be either mine or Froggy's. Well, I'm not competing with Froggy's list, and Froggy's not competing with my list. And that's how I thought it should be. Peaceful lists. But for the lists that are competing, and for all of the lists, of course, the best list will win, or at least, whichever list[s] that people like the best will win.
