So is bombing a possible terrorist location, with overwhelming fire power, but as with everything, I feel that the respons should be in accordance with the actual threat. :o) > I'd rather have someone with these > > intentions in charge of things around these parts. > > I gather then that you do feel threatened. I guess that is your right. I (knowing Jeroen up close and personal, just as some of you know Nick up close and personal) very much doubt there is a real threat. Another thing I've notices is that a lot of Nick's 'friends' (maybe I should say list buddies, ? :o)) don't mind if someone is altering the list to accomodate their own wishes and responsibillities. OK, that is their perogative as well. :o). But I for one feel that Nick should keep his fingers of the list policies as they are. If he wants to provide us the service, do the work as list admin and be damned for it in the process ;o), I'm the more gratefull for it. But if the condition for all those niceties is going to be that there are going to be more and more rules for people who wanne play and the rules are going to be more and exclusively Nick's rules because he hosts the list and because he has (very legitimatly and understandably) a right to protect himself, well then I for one decline the offer. :o) > I agree fully. The concept "you were aware of the risks to begin with, so > don't you dare mitigate them." seems silly (Not Sonja's point, but someone > else's). So why the *&%#@! are you putting this together with stuff I wrote? I'd say that leaves me standing pretty ugly, wouldn't you? It wasn't a nice thing to do, especially since I think I presented a rather good case against implementing more policies. > Nick's provides us with a premium service doing it this way, and > I appreciate that. Yes as do I, very much so, especially because he does seem to put in an awfull lot of work. But I just don't like what he's charging us for it. :o) Or what he might charge us in the future for that matter.... :o) Sonja GCU: I'm not a trusting soul, must be those windows..... ;o) _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
