I respectfully disagree as well. I enjoy seeing what the NY chapters and others are doing, topics being covered, names of lecturers (perhaps they are names I want to be familiar with). I also enjoy the political arguments because it indicates the diversity of Jews on Hasafran and who they are, where they stand both professionally and politically. And Hasafran is an online community - community is the key word, I hope. Though I'm in a big city and know other Judaic librarians, I essentially work in isolation and Hasafran is something I look forward to checking. Deleting is quick and painless, much easier than weeding books!
