Lookin' for a Fight, 1 disturbing quality



It's hard to know where to post this because someone (like me) will say it's
non WHO related and if I send it privately, it will just be posted on the
list anyway because I will supposedly be acting in a cowardly fashion for
posting it privately.  So to save Fang the trouble . . .

Once again, Fang seems to be jumping to conclusions and looking for a fight
when one isn't there.  I don't know Kevin, but his point wasn't that the
person I charge of the list is doing a bad job or is incompetent or whatever.
 He was simply responding to the fact that some e-mailing might have been
sent in this manner because of the way the list is set up.  He is trying to
give the benifit of the doubt to these 'cowardly people" (whom I consider
polite) that post these non-Who related postings (like the one I am writing)
privately.     Kevin states that he likes a mailing list set up in a
different way, it is an opinion, a suggestion, not a greedy or ungrateful
comment.  I am sorry that a suggestion appears to you as being greedy. 

Looking for fights and controversy when they are not there seems to be more
of an disturbing quality then any of this stuff.
