But when a Museum-L member DARES to inconvenience a few of the other members by not always adhering to THEIR brand of netiquette and THEIR little pet-peeves and bugaboos, Museum-L is BAR NONE the most mean-spirited, nit-pickiest, sourest, shaming and blaming list of those I subscribe to. Most lists stick to the subject and content of the discussions, rather than obsessively heaping humiliation on those poor souls who make such earthshaking errors as forgetting to enter a "subject" in the subject line or other such picayune matters. Personally, I find that weeding my way through all this childish bickering is a much bigger pain in the neck than occasionally having to open up a posting to see what the "subject" is. Thank goodness for the many members who here have compassion towards their fellows and a SENSE OF PROPORTION!!
