I've got no complaint about Jim's moderating as such, and I'd be just as happy if he stayed on at the job -- if he wants to. I *do* have strong reservations about the *new and very different* charter which suddenly appeared, and I have to say that much as I would hate to leave I might have some trouble staying on the list if it remains unchanged. But voting with our feet is our prerogative, as much as imposing drastic policy changes is the moderator's. Unless, as Jim has suggested, this particular list belongs to the members and not to the moderator. In that case I think he is bound in some sense to consult with the members at large before imposing such a drastic change in tone, if not in content. But I cringe at the idea of dragooning the poor guy to go back to it when he so very clearly has gotten sick of it. I don't think it would be good for the list, and I'm quite sure it would be a bad thing for Jim himself. Regards, David
