Thinking about unsubscribing from sd-callers

[bjarvis]

Is it just me or has the bitchy signal-to-noise ratio of the sd-callers mailing list skyrocketed just lately?

The past two weeks seem to have been a nearly continuous stream of personal insults between supposedly professional callers concerning either individuals' calling practices, club activities, or communication skills. Only Ruth Riegelhaupt-Herzig and Clark Baker seem to have been rising about the crowd somewhat to discuss issues rather than hurl personal insults.

After catching up on reading last night, I almost fired off an unsubscribe request. I don't have spare time to deal with such silliness. Still, there is occasionally a redeeming post, so I'm holding off for a couple of days. Perhaps things will improve. Perhaps my tolerance will increase. Perhaps I'll just use a kill filter. :-^

I'm glad I never subscribed. The message load on the gay-chorus and lgcwsd and challenge lists and the trad-caller yahoo groups add up to quite enough for me.

I'm hoping that the Queernet disk problem is fixed soon so the chorus list can resume. Luckily, I kept archives of everything on my own server so even if data is totally unrecoverable, I still have a library of stuff.
