You are getting all bent out of shape over the wrong conversation...I am
referring to a conversation about two or three weeks ago that was solely
between two people and it involved over 70 posts to the List.

As for V...I do not recall her ever taking part in a two person conversation
on the List...she would be the first one to take it off the List.

You are missing the point...music related, Creed related, nonsense
related...if it interests many people and quite a few listers are taking part
in the thread (as the one you were just talking about), then I have no
problem...its the 75 posts between two people that tick me off.

How about a compromise...when someone feels the absolute need to have a
private conversation on the List, and they feel that it would violate their
first amendment rights to take it off the List, how about just changing the
subject line to someting like "Private Conversation" and that way those of us
who are not interested can just delete the post without having to open it to
see what it's about.

While we are on the subject of subject lines...can we make an effort to
change it when the subject of the thread changes???

Does that sound fair to all???

rue, Mad... but if the conversation hadn't have been on the list (when it
started it was between Lisa and Ross), then keith would have never been able
to join... then I wouldn't have been able to join in on it (which I was
thankful for, since I couldn't do anything else, with a very sick kid to
take care of)... and Debbi couldn't have joined in.  Oh wait... wasn't this
the same conversation where we had meaningful topics and actually got to
KNOW each other better?  Yeah, I guess we could have done without that,
couldn't we?  I recall MANY conversations between 2 or 3 people in the
past... they were never shot down then... why now all of a sudden you feel
it neccesary to tell us to not have a conversation?  If V was one of the
people participating in the discussion, which a lot of times had nothing to
do with Creed, or even music (as she had done many times in the past), would
you have STILL told us that we aren't allowed to do it and we were wrong?
Of couse, she would probably tell you the same thing that everyone else has
been... get over it and let things go as they are, instead of trying to fuel
a fight.  Oh, and to point something out... a good chunk of the "private
conversation" that night was about music... oh, and Creed.  But I guess we
were still wrong to have it, weren't we?
