Some really good points here.

I've never claimed that I knew what people should write.  Nor have I
demanded that people write certain things.  But I don't have to read
everything that is written.  There is just too much being posted onto 

this

ML to do so, so I'm deliberately picky.

Likewise.  I've just joined this list, and I've been enjoying it, but 
I'm already forced to kill anything that uses a storyline I don't know 
about, simply because I don't have time to read it all.

I don't feel my critical abilities are enough to give a useful C&C to 

those

that are published here, so I don't.

I think I am going to start posting my ``Read it, liked it, give me 
more'' responses to the author--not to the list.

I am paranoid about the reactions of certain writers (old and new) to 

any

fanfic effort on my part, so I don't post.  Its that simple.  

Constructive

criticism is in the eye of the beholder.  Of course, there are some for
whom flaming is deserved (remaining nameless).

Waitaminute.  You don't post, you don't C&C.  Now I would say it's time 
for you to do a little more.  Feed the list the kind of thing you would 
like to see on it, and others will respond in kind.

I don't know what this list was like beforehand.  Nor can I remember 

the

old list.  I can only live with the list as it exists, as I have only 

been

here a short while.  Dunno, with the negativity this ML seems to have 

at

the moment, whether I'll stay.  I'm sure someone will applaud that.

Not me.  As another neophyte, I would be sorry to see anyone leave.  
Trust me, I've seen other lists/sites go through this sort of 
thing--Weather it out and it will pass.
