As a multi-year veteran of museum-l I have seen a great number of posts that
were helpful, informative, amusing and thought-provoking.  I have also
deleted a lot of "banter".  It is interesting to me that so many members
feel that the "banter" on museum-l is somehow worse than on other lists.  I
accept that this may be true, but wonder what it is about the museum
profession that would cause this.  Could it be a by-product of having to
defend doing something rewarding for little pay and little appreciation?

Just some more banter.
