I agree.
Let me also add that posting merely for the sake of posting is not
merely unnecessary but pernicious. This is a high traffic list--not
because a lot of people on it have things to say, or questions to
ask, about period cooking but because there is a lot of casual
chatter, much of it unrelated to cooking, period or not. The more
traffic there is, the harder the list becomes to read.
