No Brian, the list is about Leica photography specifically, or so 
I thought. 

I have not heard one single bit of scorn heaped on anyone on the list, 
or, an occasion of name calling until you just invoked the adjective 
"loudmouth". If subscribers can't comment on and suggest ways to handle 
a perceived problem to those who have the problem via the list without 
incurring a rant from you, the listowner, we're in a sorry fix.

I'll tell you what I think, Brian. I think you're dead wrong on this 
issue and are taking your frustration out on those of us who have dared 
to disagree with your action. Become exorcized over list topicality, 
and obvious wrongs committed on the list, not something like this.

BTW, you told me 9 in favor in pvt. email.
