[Healeys] what is happening to the HEALEY list?????

[P.M. Pollock]

Mike,

Email lists can be treacherous.  Any worth its salt will from time to 
time have disputes arise, some of which may become quite unpleasant.  My 
theory is that most of the trouble arises from our unconsciously 
relating to the messages as we would a face to face conversation at home 
with a friend or neighbor- since we're on our own turf and relaxed, 
etc.- while we are in fact "conversing" with friends who are actually 
strangers, and without the crucial element of body language.   Given 
this, the "wardroom" custom of avoiding religion, politics and sex makes 
a lot of sense to me.

I'd urge you and others to hang in there.  The last time the List went 
through something like this was around September of 2000.  IMO that 
instance was much worse than the current - more personal (and not 
politics/religion).  Although at the time it seemed a near thing, the 
List survived and thrived, with IIRC most (maybe all) of the "hottest 
collars" still fine contributors.

Cheers,
