Woj, I signed up to it for the reasons you mention.
And my post was just saying how disappointed I was
that it turned out to be a right-wing place. It's no
big conundrum.

"Out of sheer curiosity, what utility do you obtain
from participating in such fora? It is a bona fide
question. I participate in, say lbo-talk, because I
see certain utility of such participation, such as
learning about interesting books or papers, or having
someone summarizing complex issues, or learning new
things. This utility outweighs the usual tedium of
listservers: pettiness, ad hominems, flame wars,
inside references and jokes, or trivia. But what
utility is there in participating in listservs that on
their face appear to offer nothing but such tedium? I
mean, do not people have better things to do with
their time?"
