Subject: Re on the direction of net.motss : net.motss

 My problem with the Arndts, Brunsons, et.als is have this incredible
 tendency to hit my "n" key if I see articles from them (not so bad) but
 also on article who's title refers to one of their submissions.
 I *suspect* that I miss valid information this way. Even though someone
 puts a title in reference to the et.als they have buried in their article
 some info/topic that can be quite new/different -- but I have used
 the "n" key, *sigh*.

 Example:
     Subject: Re last article by favourite christian
  
        Paragraph 1:
            I think that christian is just actiing christian again and
            maybe attacks on the points/person.
   
        Next paragraph:
            BY THE WAY.....
 
 So I ask, if we keep this forum public (if no mailing lists -- although I
    think I would personally prefer mail)
  (is it possible to have a "supplement" mailing list as well as net.motss
     or would that guarantee the death of net.motss????)

  Could people make the following points of effort:
 
   a) if article refers to arndt,brunson,dubois,et.al, please say so
      in the subject line
   b) if (a) type of article with said subject line, PLEASE DO NOT
      include new topics or information but make a separate posting
