I would have to agree with this sentiment.  Though you have,
provided interesting viewpoints on many times (and I have 
commended you in the past for it), your participation in this
list in the recent past has been little more than antagonistic
fodder better suited for comp.os.*.advocacy.

And someone posting a factual anti-abortion article to a pro-life
mailing list (or visa-versa) would only do it to be
"informational".  Yeah, right.

Fabulous.  Regardless of your position as the hostee of this
list, I would respectfully request that you discontinue
participation in this list unless you wish to discuss the use
of any version of PMMail (and you *do* have good knowlege in this
area).

I hereby add my voice to those proclaiming their distaste for
the advocacy-type rhetoric that seems to have taken over this
list of late.  And Steve, believe it or not, you are a major
provider in this area.

All in favor, say 'aye'.
