As a brand-new subscriber (since June 15), Esther was under "moderation." I approved her above message for posting in order to show what we may be doing to the majority of our list members. Esther happened to be our 1600th member, but she wants out after one day on the list. As quoted above, once again, the List Owner declared sixteen months ago that "top post vs bottom post" was no longer an issue for any LEM List, and Nannies were not to hassle members any more. So why are we posting about one hundred messages in this and another thread over the "non-issue"? What are we doing to the other 1,590 or so members, who subscribed to discuss G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs? All of us have always been free to respond or not to others' messages, free to archive or delete others' messages, free to like or dislike other members, free to suck up or not to the few "hotshots," and free to hate or love list nannies. Can we get back to discussions about G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs? Hopefully we will soon gain another 1600th member, who will like the list enough to stay for a while.
