I wrote out a long response, but as I moved my finger to press the "send"
button, I just couldn't do it.  I was haunted by a vision.  A vision of
3,000 librarians sitting at their workstations opening their e-mail and
thinking "No, please, not again!"   And I just couldn't do it.

You can always find folks on both sides of the issue willing to split just
about any philisophical hair related to filtering on FILT4LIB, though, and
nobody ever gets tired of it, including me.
