In retrospect, I should have made my <wink> alot
larger.

<==> Bruce is the guy
that owns Listguru/Fatcity. Oracle-L is
<==> only one
of

Jared moved
<==> Oracle-L to
<==>
Listguru/Fatcity a while ago, so Oracle-L is
<==>
(conceptually?) still
<==> "owned" by Jared, but he relies
on Bruce to enforce list
<==>
policies.
<==>
<==> Sorta like
"logical" database design and "physical"
<==> database
design.
<==>
<==> Besides the
more or less usual list rules (for
<==> unmoderated
lists)
<==> that were carried over from the "old"
Oracle-L
<==> (@suny.edu) days,
and
<==> a few things along the lines of his own
personal
<==> preferences/etc.
<==>
(the more or less defunct ban on politically incorrect
<==>
humor), Jared
<==> is going to develop and promulgate list
rules/policies
<==> in
conjunction
<==> with the requirements & feedback of
the
<==> owner/administrator
(Bruce)
<==> of the system hosting the
list.
<==>
<==> Having been involved
(as "moderator", "owner", etc.) for several
<==> years in a
variety of different lists, some of which get quite
<==>
controversial, and having been threatened with
lawsuits
<==> when people
<==> get
really upset over such silly garbage on such lists, I
have
<==> noticed that even when a
list
<==> administrator/owner/moderator calls
a
<==> thread off, it can sometimes takes hours, or even a
few
<==> days, for it
<==> to actually
stop.
<==>
<==> In some cases this
isn't necessarily because people are
<==> flaunting
the
<==> rules and continuing to violate the
administrator's warning, but
<==> because they are just
responding to earlier messages,
<==> having not
yet
<==> seen (or perhaps even received in the case of
mail
<==> delivery lags on
<==> some
systems) the warning from the administrator
yet.
