Just having returned from a holiday without an Internet connection, I
find that a handfull of subscribers have been having the annual shouting
match about Thomas Jefferson and sex and race, to the great annoyance of
subscribers who have heard this all before and whose e-mail boxes
overflowed with short messages appended to long previous messages and
making their daily digests burst at the seams.

Also, some person was so annoyed, as Peter Bergstrom recently reported,
that he or she managed to have one internet service provider block all
messages from the Library of Virginia's server as Spam. That person
unsubscribed, which deprives us of the pleasure of kicking her or him
off the list permanently.

Please, NOBODY undertake to speak or write for or on behalf of Va-Hist
or any other list.
