Crill personally so that others thers who agree will know that such a response has already been sent. Some responses: 1) This listserv is not just for asking if people have knowledge of something: it's a discussion group. Your notion of its function seems to me far toonarrow. 2) I, for one, am very often interested in the responses to questions I didn't pose--for instance, the one about couples and violence. I enjoy seeing others' responses, and learn from them. 3) Re issues where one has little interest, one can always just delete messages whose subject lines indicate that they're responses on those issues. 4) Actually, I think the list has gotten pretty boring lately because it has been too much confined just to inquiries--I hope that soon we can get another good discussion going on a particular film, like recent ones on THE PIANO and SCHINDLER'S LIST. 5) I think the "dial-a-porn" and "phone sex" references are pretty insulting to those of us who have been responding in good faith. bitnet tbbyer01@ulkyvm; internet [log in to unmask] Thomas B.
