Thanks to Ramona Curry for expressing what are probably the opinions of many subscribers on this list in articulate, non-flaming fashion. I second them whole-heartedly. Nothing is going to interest everyone, and it's not too difficult to determine, through subject headings, which items will be of interest to oneself. I'm a tad compulsive and read -- or at least scan -- everything, but hey, that's my headache. I'm also free to dump the mail with headings that don't interest me. The more discussion, the better, I say. And if discussions sometimes include lists of films, that's okay. You never know what's going to make brain synapses fire more rapidly and productively.
