Harry,

I see you have appointed yourself as the spokesperson for the close to 600
subscribers on the DJML with your collective "who cares." Why don't you just
state the obvious, that YOU don't care. It's much more honest and truthful.

In reality, there are always people who care and people who don't care. But
please, Harry, but respectful of those who DO, even if you DON'T. Allow them
their say, too. I've not been a subscriber for long here but I get the
distinct impression that the few are definitely doing their best to keep the
many from expressing their opinions.

Speak for yourself but not for others.

Regards,
Marvin
