This is one of the most polite and respectable lists I am on.  For those
that just joined, the recent heated discussion is not typical.  I would
think that most everyone on here would have a great deal of respect for Mr.
Goldberg.

I know of several other lists and newsgroups where people highly respected
and knowledgeable in their fields participate.  On the audio lists I follow
there are several writers for audio magazines.  On the Miles Davis list,
one of Miles'  managers participates as do some very well known
discographers.  On the Byrds newsgroup, Roger McGuinn and David Crosby
(members of the band) both participate.  There are many other examples as
well.

We have some very knowledgeable people on this list.  It is quite possible
that Mr. Goldberg could learn as much from many folks on this list as we
would from him.

Just my $.02
