John, I agree. The people who post to this List are generally better
behaved. I don't even bother with the newsgroups anymore. And not to
sound snobish, but I hate to see this forum degenerate (if indeed it
would) by having *everyone* on. I do, however, value the diversity it
would provide. I do my part by giving subscription information to every
Scouter I come into contact with who has e-mail. I do a newsletter for
Roundtable that includes excerpts from this List and info about
subscribing. There are Scouters in my District who receive highlights of
this List from me via e-mail. In my own small way, I am trying to get
the word out and I'm sure there are others on this List who are doing the
same.
I'm so glad you're all out there listening and sharing . . . I love this
forum ! ! !
