I believe that the refusal of some to see any major problems with that 
l'st other than volume and the tendency to view the l'st as the 5th 
International contributed to its protracted and tortured death agony.  
If the l'st had been taken to the vet it would have been put 
out of its misery many weeks ago.

aut-op-sy works because its members share a similar perspective and 
*want* it to work. BTW, please note the "welcome" to that list which, 
IMO, represents a good model for other similar lists. That "welcome" 
states very clearly what will *not* be tolerated.
