Bill, I still think you are stretching to assign emotion and (small a) "agenda" to a post that was in my opinion a helpful reminder of a meeting and otherwise harmless.
Stuff it, Liz. Anonymous letters are anonymous letters and only assholes write anonymous letters. "Helpful reminder" my Aunt Fanny. In the beginning Jeff created this list and in his wisdom saw fit not to moderate it, sort of like the God of the Deists. That means we are a self-regulating mechanism. We can't evict jerks, we can't ban flaming trolls, and we can't have a divine moderator screen out the anonymous crap. But we can, in overt and subtle ways, tell them to go shtup themselves. Certainly the lowest form of pond scum, lower even than the trolls, are those who refuse to sign their posts, and you, Liz, should know better and excoriate them with the rest of us. -- Ross Bender http://rossbender.org/mqrtoc.html
