I must agree. The Blue Room Mailing List (Tekumel's answer to this digest) is such a static affair, essentially popping off the Truth from Barker, as asked through his intermediary (the list maintainer). It's one level of indirection away from handing Barker a slip of paper with a question, and him writing down his answer. Dialog beyond that seems well out of the norm. As a result, I usually archive, without reading, those messages. I.O.W. Boring, non-creative, ...
And I can't help but wonder how much time the traffic on this digest would suck out of Greg's time to write. Admittedly, if he's going to continue to write the esoterica he has been, most folks would rather him here so we can ask the questions we want answered.
(And not that all of what I am calling "esoterica" is bad. It's game utility and attractiveness to newcomers is near zero, though, and newcomers are what this crowd needs.)
