Why and attendant threads...

OK Folks,

I've been away for a week and not reading my e-mail. I am halfway
through 700 messages right now and have been catching up on what
seems to be a whole lot of off-topic chatter. If you are involved
in e-mail regarding the following subjects please repair to private
e-mail:

International customs
Sale or transfer of specific items (that is, working out the details)
"Me too's"

Also please refrain from one-liner responses when not absolutely
neccesary. The traffic on list list has gotten to be such that
unneccessary responses are generally more agravating than clever or
fun.

I am somewhat disappointed about the last week's posts but sometimes
a minor misunderstanding can grow out-of-control when communicated
through e-mail. I think its always good to point out that this has
been a very civil list from the start - I hope it will remain that
way. I think the enthusiasm and sense of community we have here is
great and we all need to work a little to keep it in the forefront.

I will hold off saying anything more until I catch up with today.

Bill
