[*BCM*] "I'm not!" (was: Bostoncriticalmass Digest, Vol 34, Issue 2)

[John Hays]

Why should anybody have to change how they communicate? This is a list 
about Critical Mass and we're having a discussion about CM. It's an 
entirely appropriate subject for conversation. If you object to 
receiving lots of messages - switch to the digest format. If you object 
to reading emails at all - well why are you on the list? Besides, you 
can read the list archives without being a member of the mailing list. 
I'm not even sure what the point of HAVING an email list is if we can't 
actually, you know, discuss things on it.
