Haven't either of you ever heard the old Netiquette rule about lurking
for at least two weeks before you leap in and start criticizing? Each
list has its own 'culture', and you need to take some time to feel out
the culture before you jump in with both feet and criticize. I have
personally found this list extremely helpful. Hang on for a while, and
you may, too. Lists go in cycles, and until you've seen some of it,
you don't know where the list is in its cycle.
