Good luck in the fat cuting but it's to late for me.

>Consider a cut of beef. Throughout the meat, you'll frequently find a
>marble of fat. Often, on a steak, it's at the edge.
>
>Some chefs will tell you to leave the fat on when you cook it because
>it adds flavor. Most health professionals will encourage you to not
>eat it, whether you include it in your cooking or excise it before you
>cook.
>
>Consider the Museums List. Lots of good meat, sometimes marbled with
>little bits, and other times globs, of fat. Some will tell you it
>adds to the flavor of the list--and let us not forget that basic
>nutrition also mandates there must be a tiny bit of fat in our diet in
>order to stay healthy (kind of like the oil in our car).
>
>Others will tell you that they get their fat in the real world, and
>have too much work or other mail to contain the additional morsels of
>fat contained here.
>
>Consider my analogy, and then please consider:
>
>1. Trying to refrain from infusing volatile, nonmuseum topics for the
>sake of adding spice (read piss and vinegar) to your life at the
>expense of others.
>
>2. Returning to the "accepted list serve practice" of keeping private
>posts private. Thank yous, most I agrees, and other grunts should be
>rendered privately.
>
>The list mail in the last couple of weeks has become, in some regards,
>as dysfunctional as the US itself as we endured the trials and
>tribulations of impeachment. That trial is over. Let decorum of the
>list return.
>
>Let's get back to the civility of this refined list and try to
>recapture its wonderful style of olde (as in last summer).
>
>Cut the fat. Quit the Us and Them Sniping of Canadians v. US, Aussies
>v. New Zealanders, Brits v. Other British Islanders, etc. Say thank
>you to the person who deserves the thanks, not the list, unless you
>truly feel grandstanding is necessary. Quit injecting threads that
>have no import to the Museum industry, especially if they could be
>hurtful to others.
>
>Please. In the name of civility, I ask you to seriously consider
>cutting the fat for the health and well being of the list and its
>plethora of fine members from many museums (and the afficionados of
>same), and from many nations.
>
>Oh, yes, and if you want to flame the person responsible for this
>post, send them to me privately--not to the list unless you truly feel
>grandstanding is necessary.
>
>Thank you!
