RE: Kat Nagel's "Life Cycle of Mailing Lists"

[SteveFJong -at- aol -dot- com]

I've been reading and writing to this list for a long time, and if the 
difference between stagnation and purity is the way we treat new newbies, I'd have 
to say we're closer to stagnation. 

The way we've treated some of them is just shameful. I still rue being part 
of a community that gave Amber "the worst four days of her professional life." 
And, as another one of them recently observed, we don't have time to be 
helpful, but there's always one person or another who has time to add insult to 
injury.

We undercut the usefulness of the list when we collectively behave like that.
