It seems that the bickering nonsense that pervades all the other theos-lists has
finally made its way to theos-new, as well.  I have no disagreement with any of
the posts on theos-news, except for the fact that most of them, lately, are not
news and belong on the other parts of the list.  Recently, someone posted about
the declining number of members on the theos-lists.  Could one of the reasons
why people are signing off have something to do with the extreme lack of
netiquette on the theos-lists?

I subscribe to more than one list and have every right to "unsubscribe" whenever
I feel my time is being wasted on any one of them.

Before I unsubscribe on theos-news, I wish to publicy state that my resignation
from all the current theos-lists has nothing to do with intolerance or
disagreement of opinon.  It has to do with some of the list members failure to
act like intelligent and responsible adults on the Internet.

Sincerely,
