This list's predecessor imploded after a protracted flame war six years ago. (The messages that bother Anthony pale in comparison...)
The writers of the recent offending messages deserve our pity: clearly they cannot express themselves adequately in a public forum and, if they do not become aware of this handicap and change their ways, they are doomed to depressing, banal lives and careers. But they do not deserve the perverse satisfaction of driving good contributors away, nor are they worth discussing or responding to.
Subscribers can take action easily: blacklist the people who write flames. Consider trying this less-Draconian method before you walk away. (Most E-mail software supports blacklisting automatically. You can also use spam-blocking software, such as ChoiceMail, to do this.)
Incidentally, when you are away from the office, consider unsubscribing temporarily and reading the messages on the Web at http://lists.directionsmag.com/discussion/ . That will speed up the reception of your e-mail while giving you the chance to stay abreast of listserver messages.
Cheers, Bill Huber Quantitative Decisions
