Trudy,
Along with Tim, I just don't actually see what rules Laurie has
broken. Can you perhaps post them for us, or direct us to them?
Also, to take the burden of this sort of decision off of you, perhaps
we could consider some sort of group decision-making process
when it comes to delisting someone?
Thanks,
Sandy
