I think Harro made a valid request asking people to be more careful in labelling their SPAM messages as such and in asking people to consider the LIST "value" of the messages that are posted. For instance there is no real need for anyone to ask me or Roy

what fish we have available by posting to the LIST. We both have private addresses and that's where that sort of message should be sent.

There are a lot of new folks on the LIST and I just think Harro was asking that we all be a bit more careful. I certainly wouldn't characterize it as whinging. Please don't regard his comments as a reflection on the job the moderators are doing. I know of

noone who doesn't value what
we have going here.

I'm sure it is difficult and draining to run the LIST but I'm certain no criticism was being directed at the good job our moderators are doing. Afterall Harro included himself as among those who could be more careful about not just posting any old thing t

o the LIST or not labelling it as SPAM.
