Veni,
   
  Are you suggesting that this list which has been here longer than you, is a waste of time?
  Are you suggesting that those of us around here longer than you are all negativists?
  OTOH all of the RALO members are great?
   
  I think you mean something different.

Well, I know differently. That makes us people with different 
knowledge, which is good. Now that we've shared it, we both have more 
knowledge.

Perhaps instead of spending time on this list, people with knowledge 
could contribute much better within the RALOs; however the problem is 
that at the RALOs there are new people, who don't have all this 
history behind them (you have noticed how some of "them" start each, 
or almost every, e-mail with the words "long time ago", or similar:), 
and that makes them not the usual negativists.
