Re: cranks

["michael perelman" <michael@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rick is in an unenviable position.  The cranks come; make silly claims;
then others respond.  As a result, anything having to do with Keynes gets
lost in the cacophany.

I run a similar list.  At times [probably less than 10], I have asked
various people to depart.  My decisions have been very controversial.  Many
have protested my "censorship."

Many people have suggested an alternative on pen-l.  Maybe it would work
here.  Just shun the cranks.  If no one responds, maybe they will go away.
I would love to see it work here.
