Mary, I liked your response best. Again, you and others are correct that
the list charter is very specific with no loose ends flying in the wind.
I prefer viewing my approach to mailing list culture as "man bites dog."
Cross-posting tends to mix cultures and isn't the PC word of the decade
diversity? We've come a long way from the days of race relations.
Perhaps new subscribers to this list and others were encouraged to join
based on the e-mails I've cross-posted (maybe not). I really must stay
away from lists beginning with the letter "S". Some on the Skeptic list
give me hell when I cross-post fortean (paranormal and anomalies) e-mails.
Thank you for listening.
Terry
