Maybe in the future, for the future of this list, people who find it necessary to "bid adieu" do it to the people with whom they have the most off list contact, so that I will not have to read the same boring email over and over and over again. I really can't quite put my finger on why people are so willing to jump overboard when this is a JONI MITCHELL Discussion list. Like the tags (njc, sjc, vljc) maybe we should have a tag that is, sg2jmdl (saying goodbye to the joni mitchell discussion list) and then we can opt not to get it. Two members of this list had an hour lunch with the woman for whom we are all here talking about, that is why I read this list, and I don't think on any other list can a group of people who don't know each other get together for a weekend and sing and have fun and actually become friends, and trust each other although they only know each other from daily emails. Yes some of the posts are mean hearted and opinionated but so are some people. Get Over It.
