Ted,
If a few posts pointing out how ridiculously blind it is for any liberal to defend Bill Clinton means I'm "OBSessed"--then what are the folks who post daily--sometimes hourly-- about Wilson/CC etc. etc. ad nauseum?
" POSessed?"

I avoided going there, but it did occur to me that Tim's previous rantings on this subject seemed a bit obsessive, an obsession I had had quite enough of during Clinton's impeachment. But this is what makes the list more valuable, perhaps, that no one can dictate what is newsworthy or not. Even with all its faults, often V2020 and its members offer a more newsworthy view of certain events than the so called "news" we get in the sound bites offered in the monetarily driven "news" media.
One of our City Council members commented in the Daily News that V2020 was not a good source of factual info. Actually, I think there are so many lurkers waiting to pounce on BS on the list that the false stories get corrected rather often, and much valuable info is offered with links to sources that are reliable.
I think V2020 does quite well as an open unmoderated list serve, though the potential is there for it to self destruct if a large number of people went off the deep end "spamming" the list.
OK, maybe "Naked At Dennys" is a trivial post. Mea culpa.
