I'm afraid I must circulate some critical comments re the TAXI DRIVER
"crap or classic" posting circulated by Arnett. While circumstances exist
when participants need help in finding films or noting that certain
areas involve intensive discussion, a posting such as this really illustrates
laziness on the part of the mailer.
  As an "instructor" Arnett should be doing the necesary preparation or drop
out of the field entirely.A wealth of critical commentary exists on this
film which the poster should be reading. This mailing suggests that he is too
damn lazy to do the work himself and is wanting participants on this list
to do it for him.
  Furthermore, the "Crap or Classic" logo suggests an educational level little
better than Siskell and Ebert's Two Thumbs Up/Down and the drivel associated
with Lyons & Medved.
  Can't we have this list concentrating on intelligent discussion of films?
There are other avenues on the World Wide Web which are more suitable to
this type of request.
