increasingly concerned that many of your postings are a
distraction and
offensive to some who might otherwise participate.

Would you have read it if you didn't know Bear from his SF? Thrillers

William,
If you have something new to contribute to the discussion, I, for one,
welcome it.
If you have more of the same with which to spam the list, then I, for

I haven't weighed in on this yet because I'm sort of a newbie on this

very familiar with lists where I'm not especailly interested in (or

There are no 'technical or procedural' reasons for objecting to my

Are you kidding? This is entirely about technical/procedural
The list has now been dominated by this discusion for much longer than seems
reasonable. It is much more distracting than William's posts.
