From my experience in "list purgatory" for 35 (not 30) days, our current monitor logs in about once a week (hence the 35 days).
He also does not seem to feel that rudeness or personal attacks are reasons for removing people from the list. Only use of certain prescribed words, even when those words are used in a discussion of the list rules, is a basis for removing people. As many of you have heard from me in p-mail, I consider that to show rather poor judgment in terms of what is harmful to the community and what is unimportant.
On the other hand, Eric, you are quite friendly and charming in person. Why on earth do you hide behind such obnoxiousness and frustration on the list?
Joy
