Lee,

    I don't think that a separate list is necessary. Do you read every
    email from Orchid? I look at the subject line and if it does not
    interest me I hit the delete key. I don't think that we should shy
    away from controversial subjects. This group certainly should be
    mature enough not to get involved in "flame wars". Controversy can be
    healthy. Perhaps those of us here in the USA should be talking about
    the fact that real wages have actually been falling despite record
    corporate profits. Read Paul Krugman's op-ed piece in yesterdays' NY
    Times. 

    Where ever we live, we should all be concerned about a living wage
    for people, not only in our industry, but in all industries. Joel
