[Corpora-List] corpus linguistics

[Alexander BOULTON]

Dear all (deliberately not following the list)

Isn't this turning into the kind of thing it was trying to stop?  
Whoever it was that complained initially must be feeling pretty small  
by now! (NB It clearly wasn't Antoinette as you can see from her mail:  
"We have been receiving complaints". So thanks to her for daring to  
send out a polite mail passing on someone else's request; I doubt she  
suspected that she'd end up getting the flak.)

For what it's worth, I agree with what seems to be the majority  
opinion of those who have responded. I've rather lost interest in  
several discussions of this kind in the past, but the advantage is  
that each exchange has the same title so, as has already been pointed  
out, much easier to delete than "real spam" if you haven't got the  
time or the ketchup.

Keep up the good work
