Not sure why they subscribed in the first place, since a good tech manual can
do the same thing without the human aspect. A live mail or chat exchange
like this one, is a lot like a conversation--it can take any twist or
turn--and that is what makes it interesting. Without the non-LBC stuff, we
become a fair technical manual. I would rather have them be part of the
group, as would, I know, everyone else, but I also respect their decision to
"unsubscribe" once they determine the list is not exactly what they are
seeking. I think once you determine a thread (who doesnt like that word?) is
not to your liking or interest, it becomes a simple matter to "delete" every
bit of mail with the subject line of the thread.
Soooo, guys, pop your clutch, bear heavy on the accelerator, and keep
shifting. Diversion from LBC will soon enough drift right back full circle
to LBC stuff taking us through some wonderful curves and esses. (Seems like
I wrote this letter a couple of weeks ago! Hmmmm!!)
