Joan, I think the list is gradual coming back to what it was like four years ago when I joined. I think we had gotten to the point where 80% of the postings were by 5% of the members and most of those postings were jokes, redundant "me Too's" and other non PD related subjects. IMHO, to which I am entitled, I think the mix should be just about the reverse proportions. But let's not get this whole thing started again, let's let things see if they won't work out to a compromise where we can all be comfortable and not feel like we can't make an exception or two every now and then. I say thanks to ALL for respecting the desires of most of the 1600 +/- want the list to be and not have to be afraid to post anything within reason.
