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.
