And it's why we formed that other listserv and why there were cries about
inappropriate postings for the original - because no one can leave well
enough alone so there's one post and then another and another.

It's the slippery-slope theory in practice.

On usenet there used to be an unwritten rule that killed a thread once
Hitler had been invoked.

Maybe we need the same "rule" in a different form although I don't know the
form it would take.

Anyway - back to the darkroom.
