I've been on the list for over two years, and must unfortunately agree. Since
the list became more open, with the subscription fee removed, I find myself
increasingly deleting messages without reading them. The other day I had 50+
messages, of which I read maybe two. The bulk of communication on the list has
become predictable.

I must unfortunately unsubscribe. (Like anyone will miss a turbo-lurker like
myself) I fully intend to check out the ExI web site and archives on a regular
basis, and to subscribe to Extropy. I hope these will prove as stimulating as
this list was in its heyday.
