I don't think there is any reason for good folks to run from this list. However, to the gent who vented his spleen and showed himself: It's one thing to express your opinion, even a strong minority opinion, about the subject of the mailing list. It's quite another to attack an individual contributor to the list.
I've moderated quite a few mailing lists over the years and it is rare that people get so nasty. When that begins to happen on a list, it is the nasty folk (or fellow) who should quickly and unceremoniously be ushered to the nearest exit. ~Ed Gregory Nashville ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Smith Sent: Tuesday, November 29, 2005 11:41 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Fwd: BG: Re: Folk Music & Mtn.Bluegrass Please remove me from this group.
