Hmmm... maybe it's (in part) because the list has a 70 message per day limit
and  about the only time we hit it is when we get 30-40 "me too"
messages???

While I appreciate that YOU, REBECCA RYAN find value in reading all of these
and don't mind hitting the delete key, I can almost guarantee you, you're
among the teensy-weensy minority on this.

A Listserv works a lot different than a "message board" or a "blog", and in
most cases (with the rare exception of song titles or TV shows) the posts
stay on point.  Nobody knows WHY these type of exchanges start, and members
are reminded we've set up TWO "off topic" Yahoo groups if people want to
exchange chili recipes, talk about song titles, or post documents and have
lengthy exchanges about anything else.... but they're seldom used.
