You are threatening to leave the list. > </Average US Brineller Mode> I don't understand. Are you saying I am attempting to guilt trip people into changing their behavior, holding my participation as ransom? I thought that when I said " this is not a threat" that it was not a threat. Now you suggest (I presume) that I am lying? Or is it I do not have the emotional clarity to understand the internal conflicts which prompt me to passively threaten the group - without being conscious of this childish tactic. Or are you being sarcastic, in a veiled motion to *imitate* clueless, average US Brineller behavior? Perhaps I did threaten you, on a personal level. It was not my intention. I clearly understand that nothing I do will change your behavior. I suggested that this list is primarily about you. You would disagree, stating that this list is about Brin and various value associated with Brin. I am (officially) disagreeing with you. Yes, there are elements of other things not *Jeroen*. This I like. What I don't like is the bulk of other unrelated, almost administrative, posts that take away from the qualities of brin. But I am repeating myself here.. and getting annoyed. Perhaps I am the only person on this list who feels this way. But I believe I am entitled to this expression. Jeroen... leave it at that.
