It was not the best of times to be on PDML. Those of use who stayed on list during The Who's tenure have no tolerance for crazy posters anymore. But we haven't had a crazy PDML'er in awhile, so it's easy to forget how exasperating and frustrating those times were. You had to be there to know. I think the most recent guy who started to act crazy got blasted pretty quick and left after less than a week. A simple kill file did not work with The Who. That craziness permeated and corrupted every single thread sooner rather than later. If you want to see similar stupidity, subscribe to some of the rec.photo newsgroups for awhile and see their nastiness towards each other. Or see them adopt multiple identities just to respond to their own posts. It's sad. We should be very grateful (and pat ourselves on the back) for the general tone of civility on PDML. -- John Mustarde www.photolin.com
