Careful, Greg. You're risking the wrath of those who haven't a life
outside *this* mailing list!
Some nerve you've got, asking that many here learn that there
*are* multitudes of *other* lists *devoted* to the like, and, that
there they would be welcomed by those of like interests.
What makes you think that this, a dedicated, conterminous
interest list, should deal mainly in topical material, and make a real
effort to get back in line after the innocent bifurcated route has
been touched, then extended ad nauseum.
Listen fella, you can do just liike the rest of us who subscribe for
the stated agenda of the group; i.e. dig through those subject
lines, hoping that they are accurate and can be either read or
ignored. You must admit that when *you err* and open one that
looks ok but reads like something from another group entirely, you
are mildly impressed by the diverse knowledge exhibited by the
poster, not?
So, get off your high horse, Greg. If you are so darn busy that
you subscribe to dedicated lists to reduce the clutter in your life,
think of the posters who are even busier, and can only afford the
time to be on but one list!
I've got you pegged. Bet you're one o' them right wing extremists
who believe in a strict interpretation of the Constitution too!
