You know, I did notice this too... on SOME mailing-lists. Which doesn't mean
that it doesn't exist here, mind you, cause it probably does. But I find it
much less intense on BOC-L then on any other list I've been on. In the
whole, I've found most members of this list quite open and welcoming...
        And the funny thing is that, even though people HAVE been a bit
negative lately, this list is also the one I've found the most interesting
up to now. On most others, no matter how interesting the subjects, the
threads would generally come down to quality writing such as "that's good",
"no that's bad", "I tell you it's good !" followed by a flame war of some
sort ! Yuck. Here, people seem generally more reasonable, open to discussion
and actually manage saying pertinent things ;-)

... or progressive rock ? ;-) BTW, I too liked "Promised Land"... A LOT !
