Hi Cole and Anselm,
First, thank you Cole for the Afgan posting. It was something I
needed to hear. Strathspey is the only list to which I have the time
to subscribe, and I would not have heard it otherwise. I generally
have a lot of respect for the people on Strathspey and appreciate
what they have to share whether it is about SCD or not. I could have
done without much of the prattle that followed your posting, but it
did not unduly inconvenience or distress me: the delete key is very
easy to operate.
Anselm, I once again want to thank you for providing Strathspey for
us and for doing your best to keep things on an even keel, which I
think you have done exceedingly well. However, I hope you don't feel
it necessary to turn into a list censor based on thread subject.
Rather, I would prefer you reserved the heavy hand for those who feel
it necessary to subject us to their bigotry. Otherwise, one of the
things I especially like about Strathspey is that it periodically
stretches beyond the bounds of SCD. I really do want to know what
people on Strathspey feel about momentous events, especially when
they feel deeply. I think Strathspey is much the richer for it.
Oberdan.
