Chris is one with a radical suggestion, the others are many. It is
very likely, that the one with a radical suggestion needs to respond
to many questions/concerns/etc and needs more emails than the other
people. Acting like you said is a unbalanced discussion. If you have
problems with the content of this list subscribe to:
general-digest-subscribe
read the mail archive or try to get your email filter to work. Gmail
offers "mute"

Cheers
