I'm rather at a loss as to why you'd apologize for discussing Wolfe's works on 
a mailing list devoted to discussing Wolfe's works.  It's email.  If someone 
is offended or bored with your posts, they can easily skip over the posts.  
If they're really tired of reading your posts, they can twit you.  
Personally, I've found your posts quite interesting.  Post on.

(I'm not sure if the word "twit" is still commonly used in this manner.  In 
the old BBS days and the early days of the Internet, all of a decade and a 
half or so ago, a "twit filter" was a filter which automatically deleted 
posts from a specific person.  To "twit" someone was to add them to your twit 
filter.)
