You know, Robin, I usually try to be tolerant of folks who maintain
mailing lists. It is alot of work and they are within their rights to
request some focus and limitations..they are afterall spending their own
money to make the service available...

But from day one I've heard nothing but whining, whimpering, bitching
and belly aching from McAlpine...moaning about this that and the other
thing, getting nasty, aggressive and all together infantile. 

I've called him on it myself and gotten a token apology, to be followed
in short order by more childish ranting on some other control issue he
feels he needs to wet his pants over.

Duncy, honey, why don't you pass this list off to someone who is willing
to let it grow. Then you can stay home and nurse youre injured ego. Were
all just so mean!  You may unsubscribe me too...this list has become the
Duncan McAlpine facist state and bitchathon, and serves no useful
purpose for me any longer.
