They really should be held privately. Nobody minds OT excursions because they usually have significant photographic value, save war, religion, and politics. But when a discussion turns to "I thought you said", "no I said, I thought you said", "no I thought you said"... ad nauseam... including a mile of previous discourse. It gets a little irritating. As a result, I push delete a lot w/o reading any of it and end up creating Eudora filters to eliminate these folks from my readable mail. I don't like doing this because I forget the filter and may not see these good folks for weeks. Or even months. Basically, an argumentative attitude on an eMail list is a quick way to get filtered to trash. Or ignored completely by those participants who don't have filters. IMHO, Jim
