[bit.listserv.cinema-l] Communication

     In response to Javier's discussion on Sea of Love & Dead
     Poet's Society

     As a lover of cinema, I was fascinated with the idea of an
     open forum.  After receiving a few issues of CINEMA-L AUVM,
     however, my fascination has slowly withered and is now
     sinking in the residue of my disgust.  Although I don't
     believe in censorship, I am a firm believer in communicating
     through the English language left somewhat intact.  Having
     to wade through typos, grammatical errors, missing words,
     redundant adverbs etc. to get to the underlying message ("
     duh... I really liked this movie") is unfortunately, much
     more trouble then it's worth.  Are computer discussions
     exempt from any attempt at clarity?
