>>>Perhaps those individuals who simply want to have wild, broad discussions >>>about anything and everything would be better served by a separate listserv >>>but I hardly think they are a large enough group to sustain a separate list. >>>Consequently they will come back and continue posting OT emails to Cavetex. We need regulation. Not because it is necessary to stifle entertaining discussions and keep caver thought and opinions in line, but because it is discourteous to the entire subscribership to let the posts become more than say 30% off topic. I enjoy some of these threads as much as Kara and others, and anyone who knows me knows how anti authoritarian my views are, but in the name of keeping our subscribers and preserving a place for caver information exchange on the internet please rein in these individuals. Wes~ Does that mean you are volunteering to take on this task?

Please join in a lively discussion at [email protected]. If it is important to you, a caver, it is worthwhile to talk about. Like Caving, we're about the Journey, not the destination. Respect is key, so is participation. While I fear the divisive nature of this approach, I'm willing to give it a shot. There are better things to talk about, which most of us probably agree, (but never all of us) so let's get on with it. Please exercise your delete command with the list, [email protected]... where, should you need to, deleting rants from flamers is your prerogative, and renders flamers irrelevant, not subject matter.
