My obesity surgery support list for a start.  I knew zilch about running
a mailing list when I started it, and the only reason I started it was
that I could not believe that there was not a list already.  No one else
seemed to be volunteering to set up a list.  I didn't have sponsership
for the list.  It just seemed as if it needed doing, and time has proved
that.

Pull you head in Ron, your postings seems to smack of techno-arrogance
to me.  People are here to learn and your attitude doesn't make me for
one want to stay.

Incidentally I've never been forge subscribe to a mailing list.  If it
happens to Ron all the time does that say samething about him?  Could he
have antagonised people so that they do this to him.
