I bet we can drum up some more folks to join or at least lurkers who haven't ever posted who don't like these rules to *outnumber* the so-called "consensus" are return this group to open discussion. As I have said *before* this is the *only* group I know of on Yahoo that has *posting limits!* There are groups that are highly moderated usually because they are of very narrow purpose such as software support groups. Many of the "mundane" (non yoga related) groups I'm on behave more enlightened, balanced and sane than people here. I'm sure others have found this true too. Doesn't speak well for TM does it?
