Hmm. Maybe I'm missing something. I've read probably ten thousand posts, and only recall this happening a couple of times. I have certainly forgotten to add njc a few times myself. Anything that is dependant on memory is...is....well I forget.. Having to label Joni Content as jc is still a memory dependant thing, and when people forget, the joni onlies will not get that post. I think the system in place is the best one, and doesn't need to be changed.

Maybe the list began that way, but it has morphed into something more. Those that want to discuss nothing but Joni have the option of being on Joni Only.I thouroughly enjoy the discussions about other topics including the music of other artists, politics, etc. If I don't like it, or don't care, I DELETE. I'm sure I'm not the only one here who feels that the jmdl is like a family. A family of kindred souls who have in common a deep love of the music of JM. I would feel it a great loss if the list were censored or discussions were limited to certain subjects because a few listers were pissed about receiving NJC material. Ironically, they are the ones that will not read this post because it is NJC. If those people would just politely remind those that forget the njc tag, ...to......uh.....forgot again... RR
