Dear Rob I am sure we all really want this list and are very grateful to you for setting it up.
Please don't get depressed! These temper tantrums crop up from time to time. Actually I often sign off from lists temporarily if I am busy or on holiday and then sign on again with out comment. The best thing would be if we didn't reveal whether we were on or off it. But perhaps that is not "netiquet"?
