I have been away for a couple of days, and my first retort was "not again!"
        I agree with Jerry! We had this same discussion a year ago, and the
concesus of opinion then was to leave well alone. If we have a problem
then I would suggest we talk to the list owners, and stay away from the
ones who want to take things over for their own personal gratification.
        The only thing this list needs, is more experience. I don't like to point
fingers, but, just today I found 3 messages from Jerry Fries, all saying
the same thing, and all of a personal nature which should not have been
posted to the whole list. Another problem area, lack of ettiquet. We still
suffer from the whole message return, and a single line as an answer!
These are some of the problems!
        Would it not be possible to educate the newbees as to the proper form
when useing e-mail, it would certainly cut down on ther clutter.
        There was an article recently (Dec '96) in Bee Culture from one of the
"scientifics" which I think explains why some have left the list! I for
one am grateful that the others( Jerry, Kerry etc) are still with us.
        The call for 'brevity' is really not the issue, as I for one enjoy the
Old Drone, and Dave Green. It is really appreciating what we have in this
medium, and helping our fellow man to get up to speed!
