The first of the more informal posts to this list.:
CHAT LIST
It is good to see people posting on the Chat email list, so those who
don't like lots of messages may have been wise to stay on this list
and not subscribe to that one, but you also may be missing something,
because I don't have the time to repost everything in this
less-than-weekly post. For those people who like to have neighborly
relationships and don't have the time to get to know their neighbors,
Brandywine-chat is serving as a good resource. You can always delete
a subject line that doesn't interest you without even opening it. If
you'd like to reconsider and join us, here's the link to the list.:
