Subject: Re: Public Comments From: JIM MOORE Date: February 21, 1998 Adrian: Please tell Sarah and Noble to take a hike. Politely, I'm sure. I, too, have been somewhat overwhelmed at times by Steven's prolific postings, but even if he did go to USC, he has provided what I think is a valuable asset, context, as well as opening up unique data sources for others. (And the crack about USC was said with tongue in cheek; I went to CLEMSON.) A number of people have reccommended that S&N...or others...should find and use their delete key... or unsubscribe. I agree, however, (Steven...) perhaps the middle ground is exercising some restraint in the number of messages per day. If these folks don't want to read "Coker's Contributions", then maybe they won't strain their right index finger if they have only 5-10 messages a day. Maybe they'd even deign to read them, if they think it won't give them eye strain. ;) Adrian, you're THE listowner, so you'll have to ultimately come down somewhere. I, for one, will abide by your decision. My concern is that TWO individuals who apparently got out on the wrong side of bed, one of whom bragged that he'd "returned" the messages (Gee; with all that effort, he could've deleted them, but I guess he wants to demonstrate his immaturity to the list) are trying to dictate their narrow, parochial, views to the list. Please, whatever happens, don't allow this list to turn into another NC-SC LIST where it seemed that half everyone's efforts were spent argueing rather than doing genealogy.
