hi,

not sure what anthropophagic means. i understand anthro.  i understand po. and i understand phagic. not sure what you get when put them together.

i would argue that an email list has plenty of bandwidth for multiple threads.  both those on substantive issues and those on coco judgements and those on process and ...

i know that some list members live at the end of narrow expensive pipes.  i don't want to seem insensitive to this,  but the number of people who include the whole trail of every thread in every message waste even more bandwidth than this thread has.

i would also recommend using email apps  that only download a few lines of every message before the user requests the rest.  if you were doing that,  you could have deleted this message as soon as you noticed it was just about process. 

avri

ps. i am calm

Interesting... this anthropophagic fight of big egos (by a bunch of mostly old-timers of the group, mind you) will lead to nowhere -- and certainly scare off any newcomer.

As dr Fritz would  say to the cowboy at the beginning of "Django Unchained": "Calm down! Calm down!"
