Don't hold back-- tell us how you really feel.

In the first place, Ric (at least do him the courtesy of spelling his name
correctly) is doing quite well with Monk. And OtR is doing quite well without
him, or they were Saturday night.
In the second place, if you'd bothered to stick around the list a while, or
read the archives as the introductory e-mail you probably got told you to do,
you'd know that we frequently discuss "issues of real importance" as you call
them. However, since most of us have been here quite a while and have gotten
to know one another, we also frequently bring up topics of interest to see how
our fellow listees interpret them. It's led to some fascinating discussions
around here on a wide variety of topics, including books, music, and
philosophy. If all you want to do is ingest information on the band, I'd
suggest the announcement list.

Then erase it. I'm not even sure I want to read what you have to say, much
less your cat. You certainly have a way of introducing yourself-- do you
frequently walk into discussions and tell all the participants you find them
disgusting and distasteful?
