The list has been that way for all the years I've been on it and I've been 
here since almost the beginning I believe. We have good times and bad, busy 
times and slow. There is always digest mode, the delete button, all that fun 
stuff when it gets busy with stuff you don't want to read. You don't have to 
read it all, I don't. If you really feel it's not the place for you, you're 
sure not going to change it by getting attention saying you're going to 
leave so if you do leave, feel free to come back some day, if not, the 
attention posting would just add to the very thing you complain about. If 
I'm leaving a list, I generally don't announce it.
