Well, I personally am a bit put off by the language in the offer - seems elitist to me at best - though I guess I don't understand the hisory behind this. I wonder if anyone else feels the same. I'm new to FT but the idea of trying to set up a private list only open to the chosen ones, well, that doesn't seem in keeping with the FT spirit. But what do I know, just a newbie! If others are happy who am I to rain on your parade.
