I wonder if I am the only one starting to feel like a fool not belonging =to
the list/AEG group, because as a newbie it seems to be impossible to
'behave' like the 'elite-members' wants it us/me to be?

What is wrong by saying a thank you as long we are asked to tell when we

It takes only few extra words .. being polite and friendly should not har=m
anyone?

Don't know if it is right to say I am sorry or not for answering ...

I didn't mean to direct my criticism to you, so please do not take it
personally. I agree that thanking Keith and Craig for the seeds and for t=he
work that they do was entirely appropriate.

However, the simple fact is that every message that gets posted on Arisae=ma-L
ends up in the mailbox of every subscriber.

I never saw Ray's request that "thank-yous" be posted to the list, possib=ly
because I was deleting anything that even mentioned "seeds" without readi=ng
it.

If Ray wished to get a copy of all of the "thank-you" emails, he could ha=ve
asked that messages to Keith  to be copied to him, not posted to the list=,
but nobody's perfect!  Even me!
