		To whom...,



	For the past few months I have deleted every one of UticaRose's posts
without reading them after determining the direction of the first few.  Now
it seems that our right wing contributor's posts have gotten better.  How do
I know this without reading them?  I know this because of the recent calls
for his expulsion.  He has obviously hit some nerve.


	This is exactly the value of an open list.  Some schmuck keeps piping
up and being ignored until he improves his thinking enough to crack open a
thread for the insertion of his two cents.  The thread can then unravel into
ad hominem garbage and bleating for list purity (the usual) or it can
actually broaden.  Of course everyone prefers a discourse to a fistfight, but
I prefer both of those to a circle-jerk.  Keep the list open and be quiet
already.



	peace
