List, I've gotten several off-list responses to my post on frequency of posting which messages move me to reiterate "please post as you see fit!" and to add what I've written here several times in the past, namely, that the best approach to dealing with posts that you're not interested in is to *just delete them!*
Of course I would always encourage *more* participation on the list including more participants. So, lurkers on the list, feel free to chime in even if you don't want to get involved in an extended discussion. In this forum "the more the merrier!" But initiate, join in, or leave a discussion at will! And thanks to those of you who occasionally (including today) write off-list in support of my efforts in this sometimes challenging job of acting as list moderator. It is I who should thank all of you for keeping Peirce-L alive--both as active participants and observers--when so many other philosophy and semiotics fora have floundered.
