Jim,
Been there , done that & and now I am just a lurker , only appearing now &
then . In answer to your two questions : yes & yes !!! . They just don't
get it that their attitudes about how the list should be run have driven
many of us away , at least most of the time . I only stay on to grab
tidbits of information which I find usefull and spend the rest of my time
building my bots my way . They can't quite remember that a few years ago
fifteen or twenty DIFFERENT people were on this list each night . Check out
the last few weeks postings , you will find that now there are only ten or
twelve different people reguarly on the list . Do they understand why this
has happened ? NO !! Do they care ? NO !! It's their way or the highway !
Do yourself a favor , lurk , take what you find usefull , and remember the
Delete button ! You'll sleep better at night , trust me , I know !
