Bye, Nick  I suppose your "unsubscribe" will be echoed to the appropriate

list address. You seem to have a glimmer of a sense of responsibility in the

last paragraph.  The list is what everyone makes of it - including you.  If

you act like a thug, then the list gets thuggish, and the "shining stars"

you wish to commune with are going to be less ikely to pay attention.  I

find it worth while trolling through the NMC and other stuff to get to the

nuggets - which can be technical or otherwise.  Perhaps you hadn't noticed,

but the list writers - by and large - take great care in what and how they

write and always strive to be entertaining, humorous, enlightening, witty,

etc. no matter what the content.  I feel privileged to be in their company

and wish I had more - make that some - technical wisdom to impart.  I don't

yet, but so far I haven't felt intimidated about putting my 2c in

occasionally.  I think if the list were what you wanted, it might waste less

bandwidth, but it would lose a lot.  And I say that even though I violently

disagree with a lot of the political content.
