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.
