Anna,

Point well taken, about stating opinions only once. There is a real danger of
sounding like a stuck record - you remember them, black, made of vinyl, etc,
etc :-)

However one aspect of restating a theme is to try and stimulate a debate and
get people other than the 'ace email coorespondents' - Jon Anderson, Don
Baccus and Dennis Paulson discussing something. Looking at the range of
subjects discussed on tweeters there will be a core set of ideas / ideals and
values that constitute a profile of the character of the main posters.

Perhaps we should get a guest contribution form Byron Butler - that should
liven things up a bit. A mailing list is only as good as the set of
contributors. If the subject matter is getting a bit worn then add your own
opinions ideas etc.

I was under the (false ?) impression that there are different angles on a
subject, and so each time a subject is discussed some new information comes to
light - though I agree it may seem a bit repititious and tedious for people
not directly involved.

Your right - guilty as charged, I do think I'm starting to lecture / lambast
people. I'll try and tone it down in future.
