The off line communication concerning Bhoddi was altogether negative. The comments today were not. My decision was not based on his behavior, but rather his incessant insistence that markets work well. I was hoping that we would be able to make serious progress in the new world order project. Instead, the whole list was revolving around answering Bhoddi's posts. I thought that the result was destructive. If the others who have spoken up feel the way they do, I will put the decsion aside. Thanks for the input. -- Michael Perelman Economics Department California State University Chico, CA 95929 Tel. 530-898-5321 E-Mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
