I must commend both James Dodge and Miss Jenn for two very refreshing,
sensible, and well thought-out posts to what has lately amounted to the List
from Hell.  Thank you - both of you - for your perspectives and wit.  James
Dodge had me laughing all afternooon - brilliant, James - and Miss Jenn
tells it very much like it is.  I agree with you completely, Jenn, and once
tried to post a similar viewpoint about Davy.  It was largely ignored and I
was even taken to task by a few listers for 'defending' him.  Ridiculous, as
Davy is more than capable of defending himself.  Also I agree about him
being a nice guy who enjoys taunting this list as leisure sport.  He was a
wonderful host, and very gracious to Jim and I on our visit to Toronto.  I
actually think Modslist fights are fun as long as they are creative and
fair, and the insults articulate and substantial.  It's even more fun if
those involved are above the age of 19 (a tall order for the Modslist these
days, it would seem).  A strange view  to have, I'm sure most of you are
thinking.  I'm encouraging people NOT to fight at all - but if you insist on
fighting (an element that has always characterized the Modslist and probably
always will) remember you have an audience of a few hundred other listers
watching.  Have a heart.  Make it interesting.  Make it clever.  I (almost)
miss (sniff) the old days of Andy BB and Natalie.  Thanks for the much
needed laughs, James, and for the spot-on reality check, Jenn.

Miss Becky
