There is a small group of people who think the List is the cause of all bad things that happen, and blame the List for everything including dandruff. The List is a tool of information. Some of it is good and honest, some speculation and a few, (very few) hostile and angry. Everyone who does post is a person with personal ideas, personal methods of communication, and personal ideals. We need to understand that, and stop blaming the messenger. I don't mean myself. I don't mind being blamed for stuff, it is what practicing law is all about. When I lose a trial, the client often blames me, and when I win, they figure they were right, and why did they have to pay a lawyer to do that? This List is an endless source of ideas, and all of that is good. Like the newspaper or talk radio we need to sort out what we accept, what we believe, and what we reject. Everyone needs to do that, and recognize what an exchange of ideas is about. I see little nastiness on the List, but do see some who have a different way to communicate. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
