NJB,
Happy to see that you brought this subject up -- There is a very small
minority of Bashers and Winers on this list -- (Fortunately small, but
unfortunately very vocal) who sometimes appear to set the tempo.
There are also a lot of very informed, experienced, intelligent, articulate
and quiet people who monitor this list and have a lot to contribute. I
have heard personally (privately) from quite a few of these people who won't
post to the list publicly, because they don't wish to risk incurring the
wrath of the Complainers.
Hopefully the Bashers will eventually flame-out and disappear, but I'm not
holding my breath...
