(Thanks, D. :)

FYI: It's always been RMN's approach that no Agent is required to provide a way to be contacted unless he or she so chooses. If you were to see some of the e-mails we do receive, you'd likely understand why we do that. :) Trolls, psyop operatives, and the occasional Reader who just happens to feel combative and/or judgemental for some reason, can hurl very hurtful words in our direction, and some have done so in the past. We've even experienced e-mails from someone attempting to disrupt the team, trying to pit us against each other.

All Agents are here as unpaid volunteers; for most of us, this is a labor of love. Abusive e-mails affect some of us more than others and are rather a high price to pay for the honor and responsibility of posting in the RMN Reading Room.

As an alternative, D, you could join in our CGI Room and post for yourself there. CGI_Admin Lynda (RumorMaIL) routinely brings, at her discretion, items from there to be reposted in the Reading Room.

Re: 1722 - TOMASO ALBINONI, 'OBOE CONCERTO #2 ....

Hobie,

You have a number of high posting agents that don't leave their email in their posts. Examples, are CrystalRiver, GeorgeEaton, Lymrick, SpaceCommando, AndiV, NaturalWisdom, and others. It seems that those who don't use email response post particularly partisan views. These partisan and sometimes conspiratory posts make RMN look too partisan and right wing. I know that RMN is more open than appears from the typical posts. My suggestion is that you ask them to make email response available to their posts so that people can respond when the posts are too partisan.

Thank you!
