not to be a crankier bastard, but if a thread offends/upsets/irritates you, it's much more effective to use mail filters to rid yourself of the thread as opposed to revealing your cranky bastardness on the list. i for one enjoyed the thread start to finish, and considering that participation in the thread was not limited to a few people (which would indicate it should have been taken private) I would suggest that there was nothing wrong with it. I do realize that some people consider it off-topic, but how on earth can we really say that jamband related discussions and the tangents that stem from them are not on-topic? i don't know about the vast majority of people on this list, but i don't subscribe to any other discussion lists and i enjoy grateful dead related discussions etc... i guess i'm trying to say that it's a shame we are stopping people from having intelligent/non-offensive/interesting discussion when we regularly let fights and useless drivel spiral out of control with no attempt to stop it.
