I thought I would chime in here on the current topic of the mailing list. In keeping with the style....
<RANT ON> I find a lot of the traffic on this group to be not really worth my time to read. The delete key is my handy little friend and I use it often after skimming the subject line. There is too much "Oh, Yea" or "Me, too" messages. <RANT OFF> I do read the list because amongst all of the chaff there are occasionally little bits of gold, well worth my time reading most of the messages in the list. As a reader of USENET for 13 years, I know that at time the signal to noise ratio can be low, but I'm used to it. I find the list to be my main source of current QL information and help. QL Today is nice, but the mailing list is current and timely. I will not unsubscribe from the list, because to do so I would become a QL hermit. I prefer to be the guy sitting in the back of the room, listening to all the discussion, and piping up only when I have something worthy to say. I'd rather have the mailing list chatty than completely silent. So, continue on with the blather, my friends, as this California will listen. Tim "flame me, I dare you" Swenson
