Allan...Do we have to have a 'secret society' in order to have both the list and free-will? If we can't discuss the list rules and operation in a public fashion, doesn't this leave the door open for heavy-handed one-sided views and limits? Why are only some topics kicked off? I have numerously wanted to post to the list that a certain subject should not be allowed, but have bitten my tongue in order to be more diplomatic. If we ARE a community, we should be able to vote on list rules and operation PUBLICLY. If we are NOT a community, then I would definitely support starting a new list that is more democratic. First thing I would do would be to put a filter in place that stops all NVC comments right off the bat from posting to the list rather than chastise later. I commend the list moderator(s) but don't see some of the logice, that's all. <Isn't on-list discussion of the operation of the list itself one of the verboten topics?> Allan -- 1991 Vanagon GL > > ------------------------------------------------------------ > ------------------------------------------------------------ >
