I think the person who asked was making the point that it was one post.  (At 
least, that's all I remember.)

Having said that, I do understand Suzy's position (quoted below) completely.

Personally, I'll be very sad to see this list die off.  I've been on since, 
I believe, late '94.  It's the only one I've stuck with for that long.  Have 
there been times I've been tempted to drop it? Sure.  But only on extremely 
rare occasions.  If I don't like what's being discussed, I just delete.  But 
Bomp-list has introduced me to many wonderful people.  I really appreciate 
that.

I remember Greg saying years ago that he'd originally envisioned this list 
as an online version of the old Bomp mag letters section.  Had it been 
moderated, I suppose that could have happened.  Ah well...
