I understand Edgar's concern, and also appreciate and

understand Ellen's response. Here's a perspective: one of the

main reasons people drop out of email forums is clutter - when

the forums fill with off-topic materials, and one has to sift and sift

to find gems of wisdom about the main topic. This was certainly

Edgar's concern, and I'm sure we can all understand that

concern. This forum officially has over 900 members now, and

one can imagine favorite foods, favorite cities, favorite movies,

etc., etc. I much appreciate Ellen's " personalizing " need for the

forum, especially over the holiday period - part of the reason we

are all here is to be of help and support to one another, and that

certainly is helped by some anecdotal non-AF material.

Could we, though, agree that as soon as this specific OT music

topic is over, the moderators strictly limit the forum to issues

related to AF, with the understanding that as individuals we all

veer off target to insert some personal anecdotes from time to

time, and that's inevitable. This is clearly Ellen's intention, and

I'm trying to express both support for her and her admirable

work, and the need to keep the forum to its AF point by holding

onto knowledgeable members who do not want to hear about

" favorites " of any kind.

For the record, my three favorite music-makers as of this week

are: Michiko Uchida, pianist; Graham, mezzo-soprano,

and Colin , conductor of the London Symphony.

Again, although I do not consider our members' music preferences,

especially over the Holidays, to be Off Topic, I would be amiss in my

responsibility as a Moderator if I did not call everyone's attention

to the fact that our Board has a huge problem with the clutter that

Kathleen refers to - and it's not the occasional lighthearted Off

Topic subjects. It's the failure to snip and/or cut and paste

repeated messages.

Out of consideration for our Digest members, and our European people,

I am asking that we make a 2004 New Years resolution to do our very

best to read our responses, and delete that part of the original

message that you are not referring to ~~~~~~~~ this would be most

appreciated.

Thanks,

Ellen
