OK Kent, 

As you're now perpetuating the very thing which you asked us to stop...

OK, don't take that seriously! :-) Actually, should we not recognize
that discussing administration is quite on topic? I digress.

What I'm interested in is this fact:

"But I consider Tom a
good friend."

It prompts me to ask: would you carry enforce the rules of the list, if
in a severe case it came to that, even if it in involved a friend?

With respect, over the last few months at times, it seems that we have
sailed perilously close to situations where I would thought that enough
conventions (avoiding the word 'rules' here) had been abused for some
sanction to happen, yet it didn't.

You being a good friend of the perpetrator of a lot of the malicious
noise of recent months (mo) is a revelation to me.

I appreciate your honesty though.

Ken

Actually this never happened, as far as I remember. It's possible that
I posted something, that you're misconstruing. But I consider Tom a
good friend, and would remember having threatened him with the boot. 
For that matter, Tom would remember it.

As I stated, the best policy 99% of the time is to do absolutely
nothing.  Maybe it was a mistake to get involved with this last
discussion, but I have a pet peeve about threads that devolve into
complaining about OT posts, so my personal prejudices came into play.
That's the problem with using human beings for jobs like this.
