Hello: [EMAIL PROTECTED] said, "IMHO if all the posts were 100% on topic, [the Duo List] would become about as interesting as a railway timetable". I feel a little uncomfortable making this point. I don't want to injure Mr Davis. (And, of course, this note is off topic). Nevertheless, a principle is at stake. If anyone truly believes the proper matter of the list has the interest potential of a railway timetable, then one must wonder if he is truly interested in the subject. There will always be some disagreement about what is germane. But most of us know, if we care to think, what is proper material and what isn't. Clearly, we shouldn't use the list to work off steam or make those snappy retorts that most serve the vanity of the writer. A list is a public forum not a personal stomping ground. In my experience, the more undisciplined a list becomes, the less one is likely to find useful material. Individuals with specialized knowledge who make the effort to contribute will have drifted away. Douglas Wagner Vancouver BC ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
