Although I haven't personally experienced the regrets that Steve refers 
to, I remember talking about DJML with a well-known English musician I 
was playing  with - I won't name him because he might even now be 
lurking! He had actually left the list because  of the times he had got 
in late at night after a gig, looked at the latest mails and dashed off 
an immediate and intemperate reply, only to cringe at what he'd written 
when he woke up the next morning. He felt leaving the list was the only 
safe way of preventing this happening.
