It was at least to me an intellectual exercise in proving a point that went wrong. Perhaps because the list of members, as Deepa points out, is semi-transparent, Silk remains the smallish list I joined many years ago where I knew most people IRL. Of course it is not the case, and there are all sorts of 'strangers' who read it on the public archives and never subscribe and all that. If I really paid any attention to the size of the list and the number of strangers (to me) on it, I would probably clam up and never participate. Cheeni
