Let's be fair, Michelle just mentioned as an aside in a harptalk post
that she'd been taking a bit of a beating on harp-l lately and that she
was glad for the support she experienced on harptalk.  The reality is
she did get a really hard time for her confessions of gus post.  Not
once but several times.  The harptalk community is somewhat more
supportive of its membership than the harp-l community is.  Harp-l can
be a contentious list.  It's no blues-l but we aren't as friendly as the
harptalk folks.  Much of the commentary on harptalk came from people who
are not currently subscribed to harp-l.  The two lists are different in
scope and culture and compliment each other.  If you read the thread
nothing really terrible is being said about harp-l.  The title leaves
something to be desired but what can you do?  People see what they want
to see.  fjm
