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.
