WOW! and wow again for a couple of days now.

I have read this entire thread up until now and would like to say:

To the people that are wanting change in this list; please TAKE A CHILL 
PILL, and think for a day or two!

You are trying to take a well-known and well-used public forum, that has 
served thousands very well for a few years, and turn it into what you 
want. That is RUDE and very INCONSIDERATE!

You have several options available to you, as opposed to trying to 
change what many people use, learn and prosper from, on a daily basis:

    * continue your subscription and ignore/delete the threads/responses
      that you are not interested in
    * cancel your subscription so you are not distracted from your work
    * start your own list dealing with, and serving, what you want
    * etc.


The best I have seen in this thread is Daniel's post including the link:

Good work on doing you own research and returning something of value.

I personally think that good research, knowledge and experience in the 
business world, and the return of that info to this list, is a good part 
of what this list about.

This list, with all of it's topics, have helped me find some good 
business partners, good sub-contractors and good projects over the past 
few years.

Let's not change something good, that is not broken.

Thank you to all those good individual and business contributors.
