[pct-l] Scott & Joe update

[kcristler]

rheinhold, you are a backbone of this list. But it is wrong to call people 
who disagree with you "grumblers." Nobody comes down on you for being the 
Scott and joe marching and chowder society. Sour grapes are not involved. 
Individuality is. There is always more than one opinion, yours (or mine) is 
certainly not always correct.
           Kerry,
