I am all for open discussions and agree that people can filter out or manually delete what they are not interested in. It's just that level of discussion ends up around one's ankles and words like insipid are used ( and I don't have a dictionary on this $3000 puter of mine so i feel left out). I'm not the boss of anyone and can't even get my dog to do what i want him to so i make no claims to control this or any other list. Just trying to keep the kids from running with sharp objects. BTW - only Leica branded UV you silly goose ernie On Sunday, June 29, 2003, at 01:04 PM, Eric wrote: > Ernest: > >> Here's a unique suggestion - those that really care about Bob Shell >> and >> his well being can email privately Marc and Marc can respond as he >> sees >> fit.
