Sean,
Funny you should mention this...
I've been on the list for about a year now, and it's been my observation
that a majority of the posts do come from a handful of sarcastic, bitter geeks.
Then there are those enlightened posts from a handful of positive,
thoughtful and intelligent minds, who apparently(and unfortunately) are
so busy with creative and productive pursuits other than the list, that
we don't hear from them often enough. It is interesting to note that
these same individuals are conspicuously absent from flame threads, and such.
I would encourage you to stick around Sean. Use your delete button
freely. The list is archived if you delete too enthusiasticly.
I use a separate email address just for this list, due to volume.
In some respects, being on this list could be compared to panning for gold.
Hang in there!
Lisa
