Re: The State of the List

[sl . m]

Hi Colin, my point was not to rehash something I wasn't part of and 
don't know the background to, just to make the point that the 
personal attacks on the list seem to have a long history, and I wish 
they would stop, regardless of any other changes, and regardless of 
causes.

It is not a good idea to bring it up again especially when one does 
not undertsand what went on. people do not get thrown off for being 
rude. if that was the case, many of us would not be here! Many of us 
have been rude, either deliberately or inadvertantly. As far as I 
know, only three people have been asked to leave. One is back. One 
because they had a problem and posted unintelligble posts and is not 
back. The other for stuff I am sure none of us want brought up again.
