Well, Chris, it depends on the discussion and the advertisement. I'm way up here in Alaska trying to keep up with my colleagues in the Lower 48 and the rest of the World. I've yet to see an advertisement that offended me. I'm happy to know what has been newly published or what another Museum is doing. Thank you for the job postings and the interesting web address. I consider these part of my continuing education. And, after 20 years I find there's still a lot to learn. On the other hand, there have appeared some discussions that have bored me to tears, well they would have if I hadn't started deleting them after the first several posts or stopped reading after the first few paragraphs. Also there are topics with which I understand very little. And, yes, I have to admit there are some discussions I find fascinating, this no longer being one of them. So we both find what we want here on the List, and what irritates the whatever out of us. I'll keep tuning in. I just never know when my fancy may be struck. I'll learn, I'll laugh, I'll cringe, I'll yawn, and I'm sure my delete key finger will stay in excellent shape.
