If people take a look at the Internet today, in the print medium, on the TV, in 
their mailbox at home, everywhere you go today, they are bombarded with rubbish 
Advertising etc blah blah, all they do is either have patience, stop buying the 
print medium, turn the TV off, and add "No Junk Mail" in their home mailbox, 
and then go on to what they want to see or hear.  It's the world of Internet, 
so, if they can deal with that rubbish, then surely they can do it in the same 
way on here.  I don't see a problem.  If one wishes not to read something, then 
just ignore it and delete it in the same way they have dealing with it for a 
decade or more.

Frankly, I don't see an issue if OT stuff was here as well as Silver.  I can 
deal with it in the same way I deal with it any other Social Platform, I can 
take it or leave it, my choice, it's simply one button to push to delete 
something.

My opinion is, this List will probably die a natural death when most of us on 
here die out.  No disrespect or whatever, but that's how I see it.  We can 
already see that the List goes quite quiet from time to time, there is only so 
much which can be known, (if you get my drift), then it's the next generation 
which will have to hold the torch and carry it on.  If you want to keep this 
List alive, then I reckon it should be joined with the OT stuff.  Like I said, 
people can participate or take it or leave it, their choice.

This Silver List was created way before I joined, but over the years I think 
the best way to keep this alive is to allow a different direction.

My opinion...I'll put my hat on and leave now. <g>
