If a new list is gonna be started everytime the
present one is being soured by a few antagonistic
idiots, well, you guys are gonna be starting new lists
until the wheels come off. That's the internet for
you. You just gotta rise above it and realize that
it's nothing to loose sleep over. Cuz any mailing
list, any message board, any guestbook, any sort of
public forum...there's always gonna be those few
people trying to stir the shit. Just like the bathroom
wall. Means nothing.
