Unfortunately the list owner (Darren Gold) basically gave the list to
Tim and the only "we" that counts is Tim, since he is the only person
with the authority to do something about it. (Several people have
offered to help with moderating the group- it is actually quite easy
to set the group so that any new members have their messages
moderated)
I have personally seen a lot of good people leave. Even some that
liked to kick up dirt every once in a while but that made excellent
contributions to the list. I dont mind the ocassional slinging of
mud as long as it is backed up with facts and not the only thing that
the person contributes. (Certainly makes for a good distraction)
But lately this list has sunken to the level of the Jerry Springer
show.
This will probably be my last post until something is done to clean
the list up and get some of the "good guys" to come back.
Best,
Alfred
