This is the internet and anything can happen, right? The list is filled with
a lot of fluff and little substance, but it could be worse. The behavior on
this list is outstanding compared to some that I've seen. If you don't like
the lists content, quit or drop out for a while. Every now and then I purge
(from the list) in order to collect my thoughts and think of ways to make
people angry (a joke)! No regulation, please... are you a communist? If you
want to discuss topics intelligently with only pros, privately e-mail one
another. The only reason why people chime in on this list (myself included) is
so others can be enlightend by their "opinions" and "vast knowledge". If you
really wanted scholarly chat, listing is the last place I'd look. Just do as
I do - delete,delete,delete!

P.S. - Is this flaming? ... how ironic!

all in good fun
