Dear OBC board, I agree completely with Barbara's opinion on this issue. I consider it an insult to my intelligence to imply that I cannot make my own critical judgements on the summisions to this list. It's what we have to do every day in today's world. If some information is irrelevant to me or an opinion is not intelligently and objectively expressed (which I can determine pretty quickly), then I am perfectly capable of ignoring and deleting it. Otherwise I'll give it due consideration and make my own judgement (whether the source is a member or a non-member)..
I have found this list a very useful source of information over the years despite the necessary 'pruning'. I would miss it but I would not accept a censored list. Please reconsider your decision.
