I take offense at this, and it makes me wonder why you are still here Chris. I also see no need in attacking Colleen. One reason to change the reply destination was because some people were posting to the list when they were meant to be private replies to individuals. It was easily done. i did it myself once. So it does prevent embarrassment and cut down some stuff we don't need to even see. I put the lack of use of the list down to the rise of social media and everyone having busier lives these days. Perhaps you should reconsider your presence here if you are so unhappy with it and with Ferry??

She said this was to reduce what she termed 'white noise' or what you and I would call discussion. Nothing did more to damage the continuity of conversations than that arbitrary action and we have been in decline ever since. Bit like that Bryan Ferry guy. Even as the nine of us left sit here in the smoking ruins of what once was, with many unable to post or to receive posts consistently, The (Self) Chosen One still demands the we respect her worthless fiefdom. What is the the sound of No Ears Listening? I wish I could change her default setting, y'all.
