Hi Bob,
Your suggestion is interesting.  I'd have to say that if that was the level of 
expectation and I had to think that hard before sending an email to the list, 
I'd probably unsubscribe.  Someone else might disagree about whether my 
contribution was worthwhile.  Like I said, I'm not (yet) a COG member, so I 
don't really have a vote compared to paying members.  I've heard similar 
complaints on other lists and the answer is simple; use the delete key. :)  
Just a newbie's perspective!

Rob
