It may be just you. <vbg> Everyone has always been welcome to question what we do and why we do it. However, it's one thing to question what we do and another to just 'lash out' at it, not questioning it really. There's a difference IMO. If I ask a member to not do or do something or stop doing something, I will always try to give a reason for my request, in anticipation of the reasonable question of 'why are you asking me to do this?' If I don't, it's very likely because I've given the reason so many times before or it's very self-evident. The list charter also gives an exhaustive review of the list rules and the reasons for them. I will even more than willingly entertain problems with moderation and the rules off-list. All of the rules spur from the effort to promote list conduct that will be in the best interest of the smooth running of the list in general (yet without stifling the members). A difficult but possible balance it is, once each member appreciates that they're in an wonderfully international list with many members who don't speak English as a first language (Dierk isn't one of those members <g>) and who have different cultural styles, values, personal attitudes etc. It will definitely require concessions on some of the members parts. - -- Allie C Martin --- (List Moderator and fellow end user) PGPKey: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=2B0717E2&Body=%20 ŪTB! v1.60c on Windows XP 5.1.2600 _ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQE8vqIXV8nrYCsHF+IRAqk5AJ9bGGzKU1e27DJ6hRvnUgaeEMeWgQCg4V4J XAqsje6x0pts2ot18L3/TFQ= =oses -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.60c FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
