I have learned that it is best not to get emotionally attached to a message board or email list. People with similar interest are exchanging information about 313 content this is the main benefit for subscribing to the 313 list. It's always best to be polite and agree or disagree with a persons opinion in a coherent fashion, if you have nothing constructive to add to subject matter or thread it's best to not reply at all. You are just an email address posting text information, other factors important to human communication are often lacking like body language, tone of voice, accent, differences in cultural dialect, this results in miscommunication and conflict. You really do see the biggest flaws in the human race by observing politics that develop on message list, mans interaction and evolution with technology.
