With minor, and ignorable, execptions, we all want to keep things focused and on topic, but it is hard to do that when a small minority of the most vocal about transgressions provoke so many of them themselves. I have a feeling that some are absent just because they're busy with other things, though, or their interests have gotten more focused on a particular vendor or model. Whatever the case, there's nothing preventing anyone from starting their own list. In fact, you have to question why anyone would hold that stick over anyone else's head if so many were so dissatisfied, and they were confident they could do any better without actively driving traffic off themselves. There are people on every list whose behavior will annoy you. I could have some choice words for one or two individuals myself at the moment. But I'm going to refrain because it's just not constructive. And I think some people mean well, but need to take honking big log out of their eye before presuming to pass judgement on others, however annoying. jbdigriz
