        I've been rather busy of late, and am not able to peruse all posts.
Many folks on this list are in the same situation.  The posts have not
particularly bothered me, though some, as is always the case on lists, show
more lateral than forward movement.  We are in tough and stressfull times.
It is natural that this list, due to its marvelous diversity of disciplines
and perspectives, will reflect the stress and concerns we are experiencing.
I am very proud of all you folks who come to the CRIME/InfraGard meetings,
and talk on this list.  I believe in and trust the collective moderation of
this group to maintain the "relevance" and viability of the list.  This is
the essence of our freedom, and reflects the best of what we are as a
society.  If this is an irritant, or causes more stress for some, then it
should be realized that it is a natural and reasonable by-product these
times.  The only commitment I ask for is more light than heat.  So far, on
balance, we're doing very well.
    So, Folks: 
Stay if you will,
Go if you wish--
But all things considered,
There's no better list...

StaySafe,

Geo

Is everything off topic?  :D  I mean that tongue in cheek.  The
suggestion
was made to make a sister list for those who erhhm, depart from the
focus of
the list, but rather than do that, just join C-Squad (shameless plug
here).
C-Squad's entire existence was founded for people who like to go
"off-topic"
