Great list of purposes for this group. Really well thought out.
The last item is gossip fight. Gossip can be positive, more often
than fighting, and can lead to interesting discussions.
And gossip is generally done here in a friendly spirit.

Yeah, a lot of us read in threads anyway, in gmail or whatever.

I'm definitely not a regular contributor but I agree with David.
This format just doesn't seem to be working as people keep
unsubscribing and whenever there *is* an interesting discussion, it
