William,

Sorry to see you go.  New blood is a good thing, but it seemed that you may
have come on a bit strong for a "newcomer", and scared poor ol' Phaedra.
We're usually a bit more mellow than what you witnessed.

50 - 60 messages a day?  Hmmm.  That's fairly light traffic for this list.
Sometimes, like if we discuss tires and gun control, it hits a couple
hundred!
