Different strokes for different folks? Isn't this the justification
for elections and horse races?
I understand and respect your reasoning, Les.
My reason for unsubbing from 3 mailers and subscribing to a new one, is
simple enough; I did this to avoid reading 500+ messages per day, and
to 'conserve bandwidth.' I hate mail list digests, and this mailer
gives me some advantages of a digest, and none of the disadvanteges.
In addition, I get to be in the company of many of the good heads that
populated (and in may cases, *still* do) the 'other' lists.
Yep, I am currently disappointed with and disillusioned by Caldera, but
I don't think I harbor any hostility toward them. That was *not* my
reason for bailing out.
I'm here simply because I think this is the best of several choices.
Works for me!
Regards,
Glenn
