Personally, as long as it is in soaring related, or even
weakly aviation related, I don't mind getting it. I'm
real good at scanning text and using the delete key (I get
several hundred e-mails a day - my record is ~2300).
I _don't_ think anyone should filter out bad news either.
Stupid mistakes and tragic losses are the best way to learn
a lesson. Sometimes they can even be humorous in a "I'm
glad it wasn't me" sort of reflexive way, or "there is one
tree within a mile, and it ate my plane" situation.
So just post :) Use your own judgement, and try not to
take any "flames" you may get personally or seriously; a
few list members seem to complain about anything _they_
don't like to read.
