FROM THE LIST-OWNER - A warning

[Guest guest]

I have just laboriously deleted an entire batch of messages containing

personal attacks and curse words. Much as I hate ANY abridgement of free

speech, I hope I got them all.

Since it's apparently necessary, I'll formulate official list rules

soon. In the mean time, be clear on this: NO PERSONAL ATTACKS ARE ALLOWED,

and DECENT LANGUAGE IS REQUIRED. Any message backquoting personal attacks

or unacceptable language will also be subject to deletion, and any member

who cannot refrain from personal attacks will be subject to banning.

I wish this sort of draconian measure weren't necessary, but as they say,

it is what it is.
