Aside from my one snip about bottom posting, I was going to refrain from entering this dialogue. However, this all really touches upon a pet peeve of mine - people who voluntarily join a group, are directed to the rules to the group, implicitly agree to them, then raise all manner of hell when they're asked to actually <gasp> comply. Get over yourselves. If you don't like them, either *respectfully* challenge them or move on. It's simple. As far as *these* rules go, they seem simple, straight forward, and have stood the (relatively short) test of time. It's unfortunate that current developers neglect these conventions, but please don't make the list-nannies pay for that. I, for one, have had *one* serious problem with a nanny when they introduced a 'rule' about the use of sarcasm (it was *forbidden*), but felt quite at ease to cast similarly disparaging comments upon members of the list. His response to be challenged by a mere subsciber was to suspend me from the list and I was "not expect to get back on anytime soon". That was last . . April . . ? Amber and Laurent - thank you for the time you commit to allowing this to be (usually) one of the most informative and readable lists out here. -- Non Illegitimi Carborundum -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
