Trevor,
I didn't interpret Nory's statement that way at all! I took it to mean that
the list will always have some posts that all of us at some time consider
"off topic" . It seems obvious that there is no chance that all of the posts
will be of interest to all of the members of the list. Nory implies that we
should be tolerant enough to accept the list as it evolves and to be careful
about reprimanding someone who posts something we consider to be outside of
the parameters of the list.
We all have personal preferences and delete keys . . . . nothing wrong with
using both!
Besides, there _are_ a lot of extra cats out there!
