Sinister: Mummy says READ THIS MESSAGE please

[Honey]

A message from List Mummy, saucepan in hand.  There's too much
traffic on this list for it to be sustainable, from past experience,
and from watching the subscriptions.  We've seen this before: too
many messages with too little content, or messages for a pile of
close friends.  Could I ask you all to pull together a bit, remember
this isn't a friends club for 20 people, and be very careful if
you're thinking of posting that (a) you don't dare until you yourself
know the full weight of reading every other message before you and
(b) you're damn sure at least 75% of the people on the list will want
to read what you type.  Please lay off a little if you've posted a
lot recently and give others room to breathe so they feel they can
actually join in.  We'll notice.  I'm deadly serious, this list needs
you all to help so it can keep a spring in its step.

That probably means we don't want 999 quotes from Homer Simpson, icon
to modern living that he is.  Out of circulation as I am just now, I
will do what I can to make sure this list stays around and is
enjoyable for all people, new and old.  Let me know if I'm getting
this right please, or give me suggestions if you have any ideas; but
not on the list, to me privately.  Mails you send will stack up in my
inbox for ages and you might get a general reply, but they're always
always gratefully received and listened to.  Oh and thank you to
everyone who's been sweet about me being an awful lump at the
moment.  I've not gone far and I'm watching.  Grrr :)
