I have to say that I was very offended by the person who posted that
chastisement. I suspect that many people share my view that you can post as
much as you want. If I find your posts uninteresting I can delete them
without reading just like I do when there is a thread that I'm not
interested in. If I find your posts intolerable I can set up a filter to
send them to trash.
It would never occur to me to post a "stop posting, I'm bored" email. If
that is my reaction it is my person feeling. I don't have the right to tell
anyone else not to post or what they can and can't post on. To me, that is
the height of arrogance.
For you to lose your enthusiasm because one or more boorish people believe
they have the right to control this list would be wrong. Please continue to
post as much or as little as you wish.

Bill (Coleman), can you read? I didn't say I was bored. I didn't say "stop
posting." I wouldn't presume to give orders to anyone. I was ONLY EXPRESSING MY
OPINION regarding excessive (in my opinion!) posting! And I did it without any
name-calling. "Boorish?" "The right to control the list?" Please!
If you have problems understanding the English language, I sympathize. Please
feel free to ask me to interpret for you before you respond to something I
didn't say.
Oh, and if anything I write offends you, please feel free to "set up a filter
to send them to trash!"
