I don't think you've been paying attention.  What an impressive waste of
time.

Speaking "ourselves" only, of course?

This is bogus. I suggest that if someone doesn't like what they've been
reading for the last 3-4 years they might have the good sense to get off
the list. And I totally disagree. The people on this list, IMHO, devour
the theatre in wonderfully, dangerous, sometimes self-indulgent and
ocassionally stupid ways. Not to mention baffling. But it can also
inspire brilliance. And if you think that "talking about theatre" is
simply gushing over a particular production or artist you've met, you
have a great deal to learn about the theatre. Life issues apply. Settle
down and find the delete button.
