Ken, I agree with most of your post, with this exception:

> It's a win-win situation if we play by the rules--you can discuss
> any issues you want, tag them NJC, and the Joni-onlies can take no
> part in that!

IMO (rarely humble), it seems like a bit of a losing situation if 
something of real importance - like the tools to attempt to prevent 
war - is missed, or if the Joni-onlies don't have the chance to join in 
the celebration of the marriage of two JMDLers, or if they aren't 
invited to the next JoniFest.

However, I realize that it's their choice to opt for Joni-only, and 
you're right:  rules are rules.  A civilized society (and discussion 
list) demands their existence and adherence to them.

Still, it's a loss in some ways.

My pleasure, my friend!

Lori,
who breaks every rule she can and crosses her fingers she'll never end 
up in jail   : )
