I hate "me too" posts, but here is one. Normally I'm content to exercise
my delete key over subjects and their authors who hold no interest for
me. But recently it seems that we've had more than the usual number of
not even closely related topics - amateur psychology, and who is a Nazi
and how much. While this latter topic is of some importance, perhaps
KLARINET is not the place for it.

I, like Tony Pay, wish we would spend more time on Music and the
clarinet, and do so in more substance. I know from speaking to colleagues
these frequent off topic tirades have driven valuable contributors off
the list, and that's a shame.
