[Dixielandjazz] "Valuable contributors"?

    I'm curious.  In what way were these two people "valuable contributors"?
Can't be dexterity: neither one can wield a delete key.  Did they post
little notices about coming jazz festivals in California that none of the
other listmates will ever care about, much less attend?

    I'll tell you for sure: if you restrict this list to sweet little
postings of somebody's favorite jazz festival, then I'm sure out of here.  I
can wield a delete key at high speed and rid myself of unwanted rubbish in a
split second.  But if unwanted rubbish is all that's left, and if I can't be
curmudgeonly at times, then "y'all have fun now...an' I'm gone!"
