Could you please take private your ongoing discussions of whose penis is bigger? I signed up for this list to read discussions of Gutenberg by its volunteers. Or was I wrong about what the name of the list implies?
There is just so much noise on this list that I'm tempted to unsubscribe AGAIN, and you know what? I'm a Gutenberg Volunteer, and this list could be a very useful one to me. But you both give me a headache. Jon, why don't you join Bowerbird's Yahoo Group, which seems not to have a lot of traffic, and you two can chat to your heart's content? Or is it having people watch that really turns you two on?
Can you please be quiet, PLEASE?
Thanks for trying, Melissa, but I'm afraid that neither Jon nor Bowerbird, in their very different ways, actually understand what we're doing here, so I'm afraid the only way to get our list back is to change the character of it, and limit membership to people who do, or impose very narrow moderation parameters. Greg, I will reluctantly now support a move in this direction. jim
