I didn't read Judah's comment as suggesting that Michael leave the list. I read it as more of "I'm not buying what you're selling so take it somewhere else" (figuratively). Of course, it could be my comprehension that sucks... but I give Judah the benefit of the doubt that he's intelligent enough to know that the list owner is probably -not- going to literally leave the list. Even if I'm correct in my interpretation, I can definitely see where it could have been taken the other way. We may never know :) I did, however, read Judith's "you're on thin ice" as being threatening as to Judah's potential continued status as a subscriber :)
