Dear Michael, thinking a while I really have no concrete answer. I'm
watching what is going on being interested, amused, irrated, bored,
touched, untouched, whatever like anybody else I guess. Not feeling so
confident in english writing, I'd rather see what's happening which
isn't rather uncommon since the list always has about 100
members. Can't also follow all the threads as anybody I guess. At the
beginning I was very worried if the list "succeeds" somehow.  I didn't
like to see the aggression which came up once in a while. Especially
being touched personally ("my list" or so -> dropped that a while
ago!). It is simply amazing to me that this list runs for two years
now which such an enormous traffic. Some can keep track, some don't. I
learned that nothing can be done about "how it has to run".

I hope it's wine Michael, greetings to Malaysia(?) from Berlin!

Dirk
