People who want to exchange humorous anecdotes on the list don't bother me; but Mr. Williams' point about not wanting to take time reading them is also well-taken. I don't see a need to send all the posts to Ms. Cohen-Williams, as long as everyone uses the same heading (in this case "a lighter note"), I know what it is about and can choose to delete it without reading it. I actually enjoyed the thread on odd museums. If the subject heading clearly indicates the contents I always appreciate that--for humorous and for serious posts. --Helen Glazer Goucher College, Baltimore, MD, USA [log in to unmask]
