Hello Tipsters,
I've been off the list for a while; I think because the wheat to
chaff ratio was running pretty low at some point last fall, and because I
got tired of the amount of bandwidth that issues of personality seemed to
consume.
Naturally, I resubscribed right when Dr. Carter chimed in, and I
felt a stong sense of deja vu. I, for one, was happy to see the Listowner
step in and remove the situation, since there is no telling how long we
would have gone on otherwise (we've still gone on a bit, haven't we?).
I also recognized a lot of the "old" names, and felt a bit like I
was hearing old friends. From my first day or two back, I haven't noticed a
big change in the wheat-to-chaff ratio, but I have found other lists to have
no more wheat, and no chaff at all.
Anyway, I'm writing to say that I missed Tips, warts and all.
