Re: [IRCA] ah my...

I agree. I don't know why people are afraid to use their 'delete' key. Are 
they afraid that if they put too many messages in the trash that the 
computer will become unstable and fall off the desk? I got up this morning 
with 105 new messages. After I delete domestic DX related and most of the 
IBOC and others, there isn't much left. That's fine. I'll take the ten 
minutes out of my life on the chance that somewhere in the deluge of mail 
will be something of interest. But, if the messages were not there, I would 
never know.

I agree with someone else who said that we are now getting more messages 
about list management (to IBOC or not to IBOC) than about IBOC. I apologize 
for contributing to the clutter, and like Russ, will go back to lurking.

But one thing I have noticed and APPLAUD is that our participants, while 
opinionated at times (fine with me), are showing professionalism and working 
through it. Today it is IBOC, next year something else. I think most are 
sensitive to the peer pressure of the list and can gauge the sentiments of 
the majority. Also, as the DX increases, there will be more interesting 
messages.

And kudos to our moderators for being "moderate" and understanding through 
all this.
