Professional archivists



It simply never ceases to amaze me that so many members of this list have time for off-topic material. Since the single objection yesterday to the assault of messages about food on the archives list, another 23 (yes I counted them) appeared this morning.

Beyond the nonsense, one of the other major topics of this listserv is whether archivists are given their due respect as professionals. I would be embarrassed to have our profession judged by the discourse on this list.

If there were another list available which limited discussion to professional archival matters, I'd unsubscribe from this list in a second but I remain because this is the only list we have.
