Sinister: It's not you, it's me

[Peter Carter]

Ok Sinister, I was going to slip out the back door with hardly a word, but
I've decided that I owe everyone one here a goodbye. Particularly because of
the wonderful people I've met on the Sinister picnics.

Why am I leaving? Well, mainly because I can't deal with the shear volume of
posts anymore. Fast Cow takes up a good proportion of my life now, and if I
was to do that and read all the posts to sinister, well, I'd never be off
the internet, and that's really not healthy.

Another reason is that I've lost my enthusiasm for the group. When I first
join I was inspired by everything, all the ideas floating round, and those
whimsical stories, and just the idea that there was a concentration of
people who were into the same music as I am. However, I'm becoming more and
more bogged down with the rules of the list. Sometimes I like
one-line-at-a-time discussions, sometimes I like it when people post
nonsense and sometimes I even like it when people have the odd argument (as
long as it doesn't turn TOO nasty). This doesn't happen much on this list.
There doesn't seem much drive to do anything other than write diary entries.
Discussions are lost amid the fray before they really get started. Now, this
isn't an attack on the list or anyone on it, there are still some wonderful,
clever, witty posts on here, they just aren't for me anymore, at least for a
while.
