I hope that Steve won't take offense to what I say as I'm not
singling him out, just using this as an example..............
I seems that some list members seem to ,when a discussion does not
interest them, call for the list administrator to "edit" the further
discussion of that subject. This is not his job, (if the discussion is MV
related) this is each list member's job. You have a delete key or
icon.......use it. The discussion on pronunciation of Willys has been for
some of us, a lot of fun. It is most unfair for some to ask for it to be
"banned" from further discussion because it is not of further interest to
them. To use Steve's example subject of a rough running MUTT, I would
never ask for this discussion to be ended because it had ceased to interest
me. I would instead utilize the tools given to me by Eudora (or Microsoft
or whatever mail program you have) and simply delete further postings with
this subject line before opening. It takes about 2.5 seconds to do this. I
subscribe to several list servers and get about 50 to 100 e-mails daily and
it is a simple matter to just delete the ones not of interest and then read
the rest.
Again, I not picking on Steve, just asking listers to be tolerant of
others interests and simply use the delete key when the subject is not to
your liking.
As for the pronunciation of Willys......If Todd has factory audio that
says it's Willis, then I will agree with that and change the way I say it.
It's been a fun discussion!
