Well, first of all if you receive these e-mails, then at some point you
had to become a "listie".  Also although I delete most of the e-mails
coming through, it pleases me to know that people who love the same thing
(OtR) has such a broad range of thoughts, ideals, joys, and sorrows, and
soetimes it's fun to read through my mail and know that some of it is just
for fun.

The only advice I can give you and anyone else who feels the same way is
to ask to be taken off the listserve and just get info about the band via
other resources.  What I don't get is how someone can come to have no clue
how they got on a listserve or be so ignorant as to not know what a
listserve does and then complain because it is what it is.

My question is why not? You took the action to be engaged in the
listserve, then if you don't like it, you take the action to leave.  Don't
complain because some people like to sit and chat with others who have
similar interests as they do.  You wouldn't barge into an rehab meeting
and ask, "Why don't you guys stop talking about the problems that you have
and your lifes and just stick to the fact that you're all hooked?"  

Well, I'll be the first to stand and say, "My Name is Stephen Swanson, and
I'm an Over the Rhine junkie.  There are some nights that I can go
for hours without playing, singing, or thinking of an OTR song, but then
there are the other nights when I lock my door, pull the curtains tight,
put all the albums into my cd changer, hit the shuffle option, turn the
volume up as loud as I can stand, sit in my La-Z-Boy, and lift my own
tear-choked voice with Karen's."


Note:  The above example is a joke.  Don't take it too seriously, but
don't pass it off either. 

> does anyone agree or am i the grinch?

I honestly understand where you're coming from, but that's the way that
list-serve works.  People have ranted in the past, and it hasn't changed a
thing.
