He goes on to say just don't listen to Masquerade if you don't like it. 
 I think the point of this discussion is that we're having it.  It's 
civil and there is a lot of disagreement.  It's not going to end up all 
neatly in a box and tied with a pretty bow.  There is this need in 
groups, to calm everybody down and get us all to reach some mediated 
point of consensus.  The heck with that.  For the first time in a very 
long time I'm reading spirited debate and well reasoned responses 
without the fear that the listowner will have to wade in and stop the 
free for all.  Pretty interesting stuff.  fjm
