Of course, in the US and canada, if you don't like what the guys who own
them are doing, you actually CAN buy your own. Unlike many countries.
And on the internet, if someone doesn't like the way you run a list, they
can set up their own. Or set one up on yahoogroups, for that matter. And as
I like to say, if they run theirs better, mine'll die, and I can't do a
thing about it.
It's even happened a couple of times. And to be honest, given the group of
users I lost, I was rooting for them....
