the list mail down by concentrating our e-mails on that subject for a

more msgs on one [OT] topic. Even I, who has defended our anarchic
nature to outside invaders, am getting a little tired of the level that
this has reached lately. >>
It's a shame that due to the HUGE increase in the number of messages,
several members are leaving. I'm afraid I too, may be the next casualty, as I
don't have the time to wade through the sheer number anymore. And please
don't suggest the digest version, for I first subscribed to that, and didn't
care for it. In a way it's refreshing to see new members jump in with both
feet, but there's entirely too many silly one-liners issued by a few members,
IMO, (Siddiq, are u listening? :) ) and you are all certainly free to
disagree with me or tell me to go %&*$ in my hat!, just as I'm free to remain
a member or not. But don't you all see a recent pattern here, where some of
us are being forced out? Also- IMO, if critiques of the ADITL photos are
given on-list, it will definitely be the death of the list, no doubt about it.
Trying to hang in here.....
