Exactly. I am one of them.

Same here. And I have noticed that most of the people who during the two months I
have been on LUG have provided me good information, encouragement, and in one case
have even loaned me equipment to try--those people have also been silent lately.
This in my view is the correct reaction to the imbecile quarrel that was going
on--just sit it out.

YES. I implore you all to stay on the list. This includes even the participants in
the recent fights, since some of them also provide useful information to the rest
of LUG. But please take your personal arguments off-line.
