WOAH!

[The Man Himself <altruist@shoko.calarts.edu>]

Is there something in the air around here?  Are the planets aligned in a 
particularly nefarious way?  

There's been more outright flaming and off-topic posting on this list over
the last three or four days than in the entire one-year history of the
list *combined*.  Please, people, try to be respectful of one another.  
This list has always struck me as being significantly better-behaved than 
a lot of others, and I'd hate to see it degenerate into a morass of 
unrelated hostility.  

Like the phrase says: "Mean people SUCK!"   So please don't.
