I didn't mind the first few messages, but when 28K long messages started
showing up in my inbox on a regular basis long after the initial discussion
was over, it was starting to get rediculous, especially when there was no
reference to geocaching therein. And since when can we not express our
opinions? Sheesh Rand, one message against some nonsense and I'm the bad
guy..... Soooorrry.

A few short posts are one thing. Continued lengthy off topic posts are
another entirely. Posting the URL to the off topic site is far better than
filling up mailboxes as was done.

You should lighten up too Rand. I never said anything about the initial
posts other than expressing my opinion about its content - it's the ongoing
lengthy off topic posts I expressed my negative opinion of lately. And
obviously I'm not alone in being tired of seeing them on this list.
Jim.
