What a bogus posting. I say good riddance to anyone who would try to squelch any kind of participation. Tom does a great job in my opinion. What an immature thing to attempt to blame the list member's content for a reason for leaving. Another attempt at censorship. Tell the people you met who gave that bogus, childish and petty reason for leaving to stay away if they are stupid enough to deny themselves the rich content of this list. Furthermore, to attempt to lay a guilt trip is outright latent (and blatant) manipulation. How childish. Really!! Natural attrition I say. I participate less now so as not to inflame non vanagon postings and to withdraw power from the idiots on the list. I know several who just lurk and enjoy the list. I hope the list IS getting smaller. I also hope those that want to leave just do it and don't waste list band width telling us you are going to or why you did it.
