you know, i hate flames, and don't intend this as one, but i certainly don't think a message about how you hate something is more fun for us to read than those messages you hated. and i don't think any of us should take it upon ourselves to control what the others are talking about.
I keep saying this, and feel as if I have a handkerchief in my mouth, but the correct response when you're not happy about list content, is to (a) mail the person privately and with panache, and/or (b) mail me about it. Mailing the list just provokes responses on-list and no-one wants *another* re-run of that argument about what lists are about to happen ON the list - beware that it might get worse than endless re-runs of Fraggle Rock. Plus if someone mails me it makes me feel less of a meanie when I knock on the door and ask for the hifi to be turned down. Having said all that, the Fraggle Rock thing certainly left ME frazzled - it went on far too long for a lot of people on the list, and I expect you as good little list bunnies to spot that and let it lie a good few megabytes ago - as per the hopeful prods in the FAQ you received when you joined the list. No more fraggling please. I thank you.
