bob.
perhaps my point wasn't clear. to put it another way,
water seeks its own level. while you and a couple of
others post about pre 60s issues, the list on the whole
doesn't. from that, i conclude that the list's interests relate
to the subjects that continually pop up. i am not endorsing
that; i wish more people would talk about more things.
but you can't question the facts: there are 700 subscribers,
there are 30-40 regulars, and these guys regularly post
about the same old stuff.
how can we change that?
