    Wow

    So Fraud on Enron's part is an excuse to blame the victims?
    Because: anyone who misunderstands you is simply failing to be worthy
    of interpersonal communication.
    ?????

    Really? Being new, I never met Mr. Mike, but I find it hard to believe
    that he was mentally retarded.

    If you want to have a private list for the self-admirer's, fine, but a
    little boring.

    I honestly came here looking for some practical notions - how are we
    really going to break the death barrier. So far what I've seen is
    common to every list everywhere - infighting, hurt feelings, etc.
    Quality in lists should probably be about substance. This thread has
    no substance.

    People "have to go" on mailing lists. That's all. Tant pis. I just
    hope someone offers the exiting members the opportunity to take the
    live-for-2000-7000-years pill when it gets figured out.

    Anyone got any live-forever pills they'd be willing sell?

    Best,

    Robbie
