I see both sides of this--it's often crushing to feel like you need to say something along the lines of "the lurkers support me in private email" because everyone knows how crap that sounds, and it is important to know that many people share a certain thought/feeling. But mailing lists do get difficult to handle if you get a lot of me too replies. At the same time Denise is totally right that this is not something that we can or should be dealing with right now, so we should table this issue. I never expected it to be so controversial!
