I agree completely with Cliff Sloane on this one. If something equally
precipitous was happening in the part of the world that I am interested in,
I would very much appreciate the tolerance of fellow listers on this net -
especially if it meant that those of us who need to know/might be able to
do something were able to keep up with the situation, while others hit the
delete button and tolerate a little short-term inconvenience.
