I would like to take this opportunity to let everyone here know about the rStreet list. The list was created to serve as a backup to the RBTI list -- so we'd all have a place to go if there were technical difficulties on sonetmail.
More importantly, the rStreet list exists in the spirit of the original RBASE-L list, created by Harry Bass to provide a balanced perspective and a medium of communication not controlled directly or indirectly by Microrim. Mr. Bass intended it as a list that would be free of cheer leading or other unfair influence. I was involved with that list starting in about 1994 and was moderator for a number of years. I never once unsubscribed anyone nor did I ever publicly embarrass anyone about their conduct on the list. Things were always kept cordial with gentle reminders via private e-mail. I invite anyone to come and join us if you have not already done so.
