I don't think you should be doing "anything" differently. That's not up to
me, it's up to YOU. However, if you're not willing to make the list "better"
(whatever that means) than you will not influence my behavior or anyone
else's... 

>>There is no doubt that you post useful information about the Who, but there
is a lot that you produce that I consider very unnecessary.

Well, that's life. The good with the bad... Or, it's like GIGO--like the
whole Mr. Censor thread. Do I mind it? No. Would I prefer to post other
stuff, sure. However, I can roll with the punches fine and I'm not
complaining either...

>>I guess I’m in the minority about the desires of people on this list.  I
thought the majority would have appreciated a little refocusing on our common
interest, but maybe the desire is to simply let it be as wide-open as
possible.  Although I don’t want to, I suppose I will have to screen some of
the posts.

Actually, that's not true. One sad thing about the list is that most people
don't care enough to put their 2 cents in where they should and can make a
difference. People get very insecure about having their thoughts challenged
and don't want to "risk" posting. It's a shame, because as a "group" we can
actually make a difference at various different levels. Until that aspect
changes, we really don't know what the 350+ people think as a group...
