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.
