Thank you to everyone who has offered input to the list administration issues and suffered through this extensive dialogue. I did not keep a tally of the responses, nor do I intend to make a decision based on votes. In part, the importance of the exercise is to note the interruption these postings cause to the general purpose of the list and to some 3500 subscribers. I am not deleting anyone for now, but in the future I will simply delete ALL the parties involved without asking. If everyone can just pause before hitting the send button, and not use the list to openly denigrate and disavow others, we have no problem. These incidents have been emotionally and personally charged, whether you believe they are provoked or not, they are unprofessional and unproductive to the general subscriber list. If you have a problem with someone's opinion and cannot discuss it professionally, then please take it OFFLIST. We will not use the list as a platform for name-calling. Yes, we can all press the delete button,
but why should we have to. We should all expect more from this list and its subscribers. We can debate, discuss, differ, and offer opinions without charging them with provocation and name-calling. We risk losing a substantial number of valuable contributing subscribers in exchange for tolerating this behavior. Thanks very much. Judy
