Dear Lynne,

Actuallt, I left this list a few months ago for the same reason.  Hoping
things would have changed, I subscribed again last week, only to witness a
storm of erudite tongue-lashing...  I too am thinking of unsubscribing
again.  Too bad, though.  There are some really solid professionals on this
list and I find their comments really enlightning at times.  One question:
do civility rules actually exist somewhere for this list?
