[meteorite-list] yahoogroups posting CHICAGO STEVE

[MARK BOSTICK]

Hello John and list,

My point before still stands.  I do not see the need for scores of e-mails 
bashing Steve on the list.  This is a scientific list.  We have had about 
3000 of these.

If you look at my last e-mail again, you will see I answered Steve's 
question very honestly and directly.  I did not make fun of how Steve looks 
or dresses, nor did I compare him with a farm animal or the like.  
Suggesting he not ask "Why?" for the fourth or fifth time does not seem 
illogical to me.  And is in line with keeping anti-Steve e-mails down.  I do 
not see this positive for the "hobby".  You do not see me repeating the same 
thing to Steve (and the list) for the #### time.

Also, despite how some of you responded to my "no more ant-Steve" e-mail, it 
was not pro-Steve.  The list has a way of reading what they want in e-mails. 
  I was suggesting that the list could do without the 100+ e-mails a week on 
Steve.  So, while, we are on this, please do not group me with the 
anti-Steve mob the list has formed.  Many of these e-mails are quite vulgar. 
  Despite how some of you talley the list opinion, many feel the anti-Steve 
posting is as bad or worst, the Steve posting.

You have heard the phrase two wrongs don't make a right.  This is more like 
six wrongs don't make a right.

Do you not think 3000 e-mails on a negative subject is sufficent?  Perhaps 
you should build an "anti-Steve" website with a forum.  Therefore, those 
wanting to do the posting have a place for it, and those not wanting to hear 
can choose not too.

Another great ideal, from a different list member, is place CHICAGO STEVE, 
in the subject line.  Do this, and everyone can block e-mails with such.

Clear Skies,
Mark Bostick
