Andrea, With all due respect, the JMDL as a whole settled this argument many years ago with the request for the addition of the "NJC" (for No Joni Content) tag to posts that contain ... well, no Joni content. Lately we've seen additional tags as well: "PC" (Political Content) and "RC" (Religious Content), although I believe the only tag that filters posts is NJC (Les, please correct me if I'm wrong).
Occasionally people (usually in a fit of passion or pique or both) omit the NJC tag, but it's almost never on purpose. In fact, we quite often see apologies for omitting the tag. Other than that, the Joni Mitchell Discussion List is unmoderated. I personally took a poll about 5 years ago, and that's the way most subscribers preferred it. We'll all try to do better with using the NJC tag, which should cut down on the non-Joni stuff you receive on the Joni-only list or digest. But please understand that we're only human, fumbling (towards esctasy?) and flailing about, and we're gonna make occasional mistakes. So (again with all due respect, because you know I think you're wonderful) ... please, relax. Really, the "problem" (if there really is one) is that we DO have a clue, about so much more than just Joni. : ) And there's no better place than here, with our friends of spirit, to discuss everything in the world.
