Sorry for the additional "noise" to the list, but I just couldn't help 
but to add a little more wood to the fire.

Oh please, spare us.  Do I really have to get into the values of positve 
and negative feedback on the Techdiver list?  Take the information 
presented on this list for what it is worth.  You make the call.  You 
make the decesion.

For those of you who really don't like this list, I suggest one command:  
unsubscribe

No.  I'd go for a digested list, though.  But, I'm certainly not going to 
ask the Owner of this List to do so.

Why should posting anonymously make a difference to this list?  
Anonymously or not, the information posted will be the same.

Oh, good one.  This is what _really_ yanks my chain.  I don't care who 
you are, your qualifications, your personality, etc.    Other than the 
Owner of this List, I personally do not believe that _anyone_ subscribed 
to this list has the "right" to play GOD^H^H^HModerator.
Why the Owner?  Well, it's his/her list.  They can do whatever they want, 
and no matter how much whining we can produce.  Unsubscribe.

PS.  I would have just sent this to Carl directly, but he did post his 
message to the Owner of the List, in the format of an indirect request.  
Well, I'm just voicing my 02 cents worth.
