Yes, the turnaround time on this list is rather slow...which might be 
a good thing.  Faster turn around would probably mean more flame 
wars, and this list is *the worst* I've been on, in that respect.  In 
fact, I miss a fair number of factual posts because a thread named 
"how to decompress" turns into "this is why so and so is a jerk" a 
zillion times over.  At some point, the thread goes back to something 
interesting, but by that time I'm just hitting the delete key.

Egroups etc. is ok, but I hate the fact that there is an ad at the 
end of every message.

Cheers,
