Hi Steve,

I was disappointed to see you revert to name calling. Open
disagreements are healthy.

I suggest you reread the Stefan's posts and note the number of threads
that died after he responded.

I am not 'overly sensitive" to his comments, I was just tired of
wading through the sheer number of his repetitive andf negative posts
that dominate the list. There is a big difference between mentoring
and the old adage "In the land of the blind, a one-eyed man is king"

As the listowner, you have the abilitiy and resposibility to set the
tone of the list. It's obvious that you are more interested in the
activiy of your list as indicated by the volume of posts rather than
the quality. Check your stats on active members who are actually
posting.

You have mentioned that you "own" 30 lists. Please explain to me why
this is so important. I cannot understand the importance of being a
listowner. Is it like collecting baseball cards?

As a list member, I have the priviledge to read and reply to the posts
as I see fit. This is Stefan's privilege also. You, on the other hand,
have the option to take this privilege away.
