malgosia,
      Oh come off it.  This self pity is really getting 
nauseating.  I am the one who labeled the discussion of 
differences in political temperaments and agendas 
"obfuscatory" and I think that still holds.  I have since 
recognized that it is reasonable that we all out here in 
former Spoons land will never hear any further 
clarification.  You were not called a "bourgeois 
obfuscator."  Don't exaggerate.
     I understand that you have been on the receiving end 
of a lot of flaming and complaining, and it is not at all 
unreasonable that you are sick and tired of it.  But this 
kind of whining really diminishes the respect that most of 
us have had for you all for handling these lists over the 
last several years.  Just cool out, malgosia.  You have 
gotten what you wanted which was to dump all these noisy, 
troublesome lists.  It is perfectly reasonable that lots of 
people who were not responsible for causing you trouble are 
unhappy about this decision, and your utter disrespect for 
the lot of us is itself beneath contempt.
