How can you expect someone not to call them boring if thats how they feel, personally i find them boring as well, or do you want this list to be a forum for mutual masturbation?....in a way its similar to the argument for freedom of speech...you will only have freedom of speech when you allow people to express the views which are anathema to your own.....i understand that its hard to accept that something that speaks to you on such a level can be regarded as boring by someone else, but as i said before: 'horses for courses'
