I guess one's person's useful information is another person's passion.  In 
this regard, I guess what we found out is that the HPS is very diverse and so 
are the interests.  Consequently this is reflected in RADSAFE user.  I 
prefer to delete messages in which I have no interest, rather than limit 
open discussion of any topic, save commercials -- both industrial and 
academic. 

I guess that I find it perplexing that the required 120 or so keystrokes 
required to delete 30 messages is the cause of much hostility.  I find it 
easy to skip the messages that I would have no interest in by noting the 
subject and deleting them without opening them.
