Eric,
There was a time when I might have agreed with your comments, at least
pertaining to the Spridget list.
Sure it a PITA to receive 75 message about T-Shirts, but let those
listers have their fun.
I have made good contacts through these lists, received information I
would not have received otherwise and been informed of leads for some
extremely rare items indeed. Likwise I have been able to provide some
information and in some cases, photocopies to fellow enthusiasts in
Australia and England. (Hey Mike G. Did you receive that stuff yet?)
If there is a subject or thread (I hate that term) that doesn't interest
you, just keep hitting that "trash" button when you see that subject
line. YKWIM?
Take a breather, come on back in awhile and test the waters. Sure some
of us can get tiring at times, me included. Just kick back, close your
eyes, smile, and think about Ed K's monkey.
