I'm not really sure why I signed up for this abuse, and although I'm

sure you've heard this familiar refrain, I shall echo it in my own

terms.



This list is full of the worst elements the internet has to offer.

Here, people with a common interest have come together, but I don't

believe that common interest is international auxiliary languages,

but rudeness, crankiness, intolerance and argumentativeness. In

reflecting, I am not sure if this list serves a legitimate socially

acceptable purpose, unless that purpose is to siphon the negativeness

away.



The problem is it's infectious. I can't assume a positive tone in

this kind of letter. While this list has in some respects met my

curiosity for information, that information has come in the context

of a flame against my belief-system. So I refuse to read through it

any more.



I will remain a member of the Novial group, because although they do

argue, sometimes bordering on rude, the voting procedure is

productive and one can sense that something is being accomplished



In short, Rick Harrison was dead right.
