AKvetch, there is nothing wrong with creating an opt-in list except that it's just a lot of extra work for nothing. We have already put in a group effort to create the list for those who are interested in receiving IDCC related stuff via our e-mail list and now that all the names have been collected and Jim has distributed it some of the members don't like the fact that I'm a part of it. Never mind that I'm not the one who sent the virus, the uproar is because I point out the other side of IDCC that some would prefer to overlook. No one would complain if an IDCC bull sent out an e-mail with happy, warm IDCC fuzzies, that's what the list is for. Ask Matt, he has been a member of more than one stock e-mail list and you can bet he didn't just sit at the top and pass out the information to all the sheep at the receiving end. What kind of e-mail list would that be?
And I will emphasize that you are only hearing the vocal minority complaining, most of the IDCC'ers are happy to hear my perspectives. I know this so I just try to ignore the complainers but sometimes others will actually start believing what they are saying which is why I even bother to come over here and correct the record.
The reason I'm not going to the trouble to make a separate opt-in list is because I don't think I should be treated differently from all the IDCC bulls just because my perspectives are not as bullish. Everybody on the list already opted in.
But I agree, we have wasted WAY too much energy on this when no one has even been harmed. It's all about trying to silence my perspectives.
