Dear Joan,
I didn't respond to the list because I have no problem with a little ethnic pride here and there and as a Black American I can totally dig where Jonah where was coming from. However, there is something which has been bothering me for quite some time. Other than wire service reports Salon did not publish a single word about the death of James Brown, arguably the most important and influentual musican of the past half century. His impact on popular music was was at least equal to Bergman's on cinema (and he got what, four days of Salon coverage?). So yes despite the fact that 'The List' itself did not bother me it did highlight the fact that no one at Salon has a clue about how to 'take it to the bridge'.
