I've copied below) to the list. If this isn't clear enough, what other

Is it now not clear that we are intending to do none of those things you
suggest and excuse me, but since when did the CR become the WWW clearing
house for all classic information ? My own website is built round
contributions of which more than 75 per cent are from "readers" who are
not
the remotest bit interested in group discussions or have even heard of
CR.
It just a case of eating Elephants.
Dale,
So as not to go behind anyones back, I'll ask this on-list. Can you please ask for this thread to be stopped ? It is counterproductive to the whole point of this list, too which we intend to pose no threat.
