RE: eRPG mailing list (was; Future fo AS/400?? )

The increasing daily chore of trying to absorb useful information from this
list has recently become increasingly tedious again. At times it appears to
degenerate into a cacophony of personal opinion from individuals with ego
problems. Recent pollution appears to be non-referential msgs from
worshippers of B.V.Stone. While he may have a good book to peddle, perhaps
there is a list that Brad hosts where they could all go and sign his book.

I like it.

I subscribe to more than one midrange list, as many if
not most people do, so I don't think you have to worry
about cutting out part of the audience.  One list that
gets no traffic is MIDRANGE-PERL.  Maybe that should
be renamed to MIDRANGE-ERPG and allow perl discussions
to take place there.  Not that there are any. :)
