Could users let the owner police the list?

I see no attachment to this message or any previous messages from "Brenda Overstreet". Been on this list over five years. Though it was great at first, it seems there are now more complaints than information.  And the last two months seem more than other years combined. The complaints stuffing my mailbox are far greater nuisance than any attachments I get..  

Enough for me for now. Have been considering dropping out some time. Decision is strictly on noise/signal ratio. Maybe I'll check back and a few months. Best wishes to all.

Bye,

thurman

I suppose I am an offender, too because I did not realize the attachment was
there.  But now I know what gets the attention of the people on the list and
it doesn't seem to be requests for help or info.  Just grousing.  I think I
will drop off this list too before I get really disappointed by the members.
