The point here is not theory or development. It is the monopolization of
this list by a handful of people afflicted with loghorrhea as well a lack of
manners and consideration. They have effectively hijacked this list and
turned it into a tedious private salon featuring longwinded and often
sophomoric postings. This has the effect of stifling discussions which are
actually on-topic.

All in all, this has become an incredible bore. These people should have enough respect for others on the list to respond to these legitimate complaints without seizing on them as the starting point for yet another round of wanking.

For myself, I'm installing Eudora Pro which I will instruct to trash any and all communications from these people before I even have to look at them.
