I want to say first off I am sorry if anyone is offended by this.

Guys, I have only been on this list for a few months, and on the whole I
have ejoyed the dicussions. Recently however, I have been considering
dropping the list as I'm not interested in 'feminist-baiting' or
'watchdogging' of reading private email (of which the above is an example),
or watching flame war.


STOP!!!!!


If you want to discuss these things, I suggest that you do it be private
email, or at least put 'OFF' in the subject line, so I know what I can delete.

If someone wants to start a flame war, ignore them, or again take it to
private email. I'm tired of it (and as there are 900+ other people also
reading, I think some of them might be tired of it too)


Thank you for your time
