I am not speaking to any particular person when I say: When one joins a group, one tends to follow the practices of that group. That applies whether it's a country, a club, or a list. Claims that you behave differently elsewhere are invalid because different groups have different behaviours. You'll fit in better if you adapt. If you feel that strongly against a group view, perhaps you shouldn't be in that group. -- Dan Langille - http://www.langille.org/
