And I bet the people on the "War and Politics" discussion list are getting really pissed off about all those annoying messages about Joni Mitchell! Personally I couldn't think of anything more boring than getting together with friends to discuss religion and politics. Sex might feature occasionally though...... ;o) Seriously, I'm all for freedom of speech, and an unmoderated list (and this is not a complaint, just a comment). I know this is a list for the "discussion of anything and everything related to the life, art, music, and times of Joni Mitchell", but I would almost put money on the fact that no one here looked at the JMDL home page, and thought, "Ooh, yeah, I'll sign up for that list so I can talk about Saddam Hussein!" My delete key is getting a good work-out these days as well! Hell
