Dear Helen and others
I joined this group years ago and I, too, hope that Nick will
reconsider. One of the aspects of this group which I find most
attractive is the breadth of opinion, and that it is possible to get a
feeling for the contributors as people, whether I have agreed with their
points of view or not.
I agree with Yannis that personalised mail might be better sent
backchannel, so as not to waste the time of people for whom it might not
be relevant. But for some reason I fight shy of too much of a
contractual emphasis on using the list solely to air professional
issues, in fact I am very reluctant to have any restrictions imposed on
me at all - I would rather be treated respectfully as if I already know
what is appropriate and what isn't (I do!).
I belong to another list which has tried to circumscribe in the name of
professionalism what list members should or should not be allowed to
submit. As a result it is arid and people rarely contribute to it. By
contrast, contributions to this list have a richness, helpfulness and
flavour and, most importantly, diversity. Please don't let's do
anything to jeopardise that!
