I have a suggestion. I think that all comments about the list should be addressed in a separate subject and that the list subject should be restricted to list postings only.

I noticed that there are 57 posts on the list subject but less than half are actually postings of the members lists themselves.

I sometimes try to check for the number of entries (for lack of a better word) and find that the number of posts tell me nothing.

Maybe it's a lame suggestion but it's mine and I'm sticking to it.

I wouldn't dream of getting chatty in The List thread myself.

Been there, done that.

You think the thread should be more efficient, with less "local color"?

oldman, I have to agree with you wholeheartedly. I think the list coordinators are being far more gracious than I would be.

You're completely right, oldman, and I apologize for my digression.

Uh-oh! Didn't see this posting till after I posted an extraneous comment in the List topic. Sorry.

And it was to ME so I just replied "emoticon" style

[Not that that excuses either of us ]

Oldman, see the guilt you've induced?

Good thing you're a lot of fun!

Geez, it was just a suggestion.

Intense focus on The List is a good thing.

Frivolity is for other threads!

You'd better sticky this, then. Or put out beside List for 2012. Who reads this first?

briefly considered hara kiri for being a malefactor but...nah.

Could someone please check with MaG to see if we waterboard here?

Hmmmm.

We use the feather on the nose treatment here. It works.

And all this time I thought it was my allergies!

Actually, its kind of a relief to find not every post needs to be counted
But I think a seperate thread is an excellent idea.
