Here we go again.  Listen, folks.  Ideas come in all shapes, sizes, and
styles.  It is futile to try to "package" ideas to fit some artificial
standard, when this forum is broad and cosmic by nature.  Museum-L is
intended for the free flow of all museum related ideas, no matter how
large, trivial, or politically correct.  If someone has information to
share, whether it is a legislative update, a new publication, or an
available object, this is as appropriate a means of communicating such
ideas as any newsletter.

Contrary to your contention, available objects *are* of great interest to
subscribers of Museum-L.  We all know what a delete key is for.  Use it.
Better to delete an unwanted message than to silence a colleague.  Fight
censorship everywhere.
