Did I get deleted??? > Two Bears: I have some ideas as to why this list is so dead. 1. There have been some other pressing matters that a lot of AMM members have been dealing with. 2. A while back we went through some real nasty email battles and I think that pushed some to quit others to be less vocal and just made it all just a little less fun for everyone. 3. Back in about 99 when I found this group I used to have to ration my questions and put them in order of importance so that I did not take up to much bandwidth. There were others that seemed to be in the same boat. The answers would often start other somehow related subjects and things went along pretty good. Now I aint quite as stupid as I used to be, or maybe I am more stupid because I can not think of as many questions to ask. I know sometimes you will ask a question and get no or little responce. That may mean you have pissed everyone off and no one is talking to you (your probably french anyway). Or more likely no one has the time or feels qualified to answer it. A while back we had a little go around about horses but I was so slow to get posts back in I am sure that it really stopped it. It would be a benefit to all of us to get back to reading and writing email about history and survival and how good it is to sit around a midwinter fire while a man gives your 6 year old instructions on how to effectively use a knife as an ax or a plane (Thanks again Mike but let me tell you I have not been in want of kindling this winter.
