Al,
I have to agree with Mike here. Kyle didn't start the UCNeighbor list
because he was being childish or selfish and walking away with his bar and
ball. He started it because the communication on this listserv is becoming
petty, myopic and insulting. It's also becoming a crowded room (virtually
speaking) with some loud voices trying to drown out the once speaking in a
normal tone. Some people do act like they own this list and like to think
that they can dictate and frame the conversation and debates that occur
here. Many people have started doing the serial deleting of [UC]-labelled
emails, because it's become less relevant and helpful to the average UC
resident. I don't know about you, but this puts people a hair-trigger away
from leaving the listserv and the community discussion that occurs here. No
one is excluded or protected on Kyle's new listserv either. You can still
take the conversation there, if you want to, and your bat and ball.
