A short opinion:

Recommend severing the RAB link.
Those who interested enough in bonsai will find IBC through Google.

--------------------------------

Over the 9 years I have been on the list I have learned to delete and stay
cool.
Nevertheless, it still has an effect which we cannot help having a reaction
to that isn't pleasant or healthy for anyone and casts a discouragment over
new-comers. As we know from a recent msg, it also is the cause of
returning-old-timers, with their wanted experience and help, to just leave
us again regretfully.

I support Peter's reaction to this - sever RAB and understand that
genuinely interested people who would like a good contact will find us
without difficulty.
I know I say this without possibly understanding a loss to some very
nice people on RAB, but we have carryed the burden for long enough -
hopefully they will understand. This situation could get worse.

There are times when the list has breaks of argumentive and even
unpleasant situations, but our nature is that we can accept that as a group
and tolerate our natural outbursts occasionally much like a family -
however - the spam is so aggressively and explosively intrusive it can spoil
a whole day without any reasonable understanding in our receiving it.

Shelly, we are much aware of the burden you carry, but I think, like
Peter, the time has come to close this uncontrollable intrusion; it will
be a representation of our best intentions for sincere bonsai folks and
those who support and work for the list.
