Some thoughts about recent posts regarding Joni content: I'm on several of these lists, and what I've found is that they all develop unique 'personalities'. i think that's a good thing. Actually, I find it really interesting as well. Some sociologist should study why e-mail lists develop the way they do. Drifting away from the organizing topic is a big part of many of these lists. This arrives organically, I think, and is one of the things that makes these lists an interesting phenomena. Some lists allow this drifting, others don't. Depends on who's in charge of the list and the people subscribed to it.
To me, joining an e-mail list is like making a new friend. Sometimes, you hit it off right away. Other times, you start out kind of lukewarm about it, but feelings grow stronger over time. And yes, there's occasions where once positive feelings turn sour over time or due to a specific incident. I'm glad that people find this list fun and useful. I'm also glad that others have realized that the list isnt for them and unsubscribe. Better they leave and go do what makes them happy then stay and make themselves and everyone else miserable.
