[kj] I'm with them...(MINISTRY GUEST)

I have to say that I'm very, very sad to hear that Alexi is leaving. Squabbling over whether or not the `Joke's new LP is their greatest achievement is one thing, but the palpable rise in not-exactly-friendly antagonism here over the past few months is really unfortunate -- and while I can't blame Alexi for feeling fed up with it, I'm still very sorry to hear she's leaving us. She's been a member of this list longer than I have, and I think her exit should act as a wake-up call to those of us still sticking around.  Can't we at least try to keep the hostile bullshit down to an only slightly-deafening roar? I'm not singling anyone out -- I'm equally guilty of the odd bit of shit-stirring myself, but let's at least TRY to keep it together, people.

Alex in NYC
