No don't worry- I'll leave the list.  OK?  I don't want others leaving
because of me.

OK, I've had enough.

I keep looking for, and thinking of how to, demonstrate this thing that Kim
talks about - this list's ability to self-moderate.

At one time I thought - just let MIKO go, and he'll eventually shut up and
go away.  But every day, my in box is filled with his posts, which at best
(rarely) are amusing, and at their worst (often) are insulting.  In between
is just worthless psychobabble.

Yeah, an email filter would work, but why should I have to do that?  That
would be the very first time I've filtered out a participant in an 
otherwise
wonderful forum.

So, I'm gonna do what I do when some worthless babble comes across my
television, radio or internet...  Click.

Bye for a while, kids.  I'll occasionally check the web archives to see 
when
things get back to normal.

Doug
