I don't claim to know exactly how things work on a mailing list this size,
but if something is wrong with the list, I can't see why people wouldn't
take a break from all of the fascinating and intelligent music threads we
always have and try to solve the problem. That's like bitching about
Greenpeace being so negative all the time (why can't they just get a real
job and enjoy life like everyone else?) Okay, that's a REALLY extreme
analogy. Yeah. I'm gonna take a nap.
