I don't think we need elections, I think it's enough to insure the 
list owners that we don't believe that they have the kind of 
unilateral power that some would suggest that they do.

It would be nice to have someone like Jo Anne around, but in her 
absence we should take it upon ourselves to ameliorate the 
situation.  Let's endeavor to send a friendly word to those we think 
have taken an argument too far.

I would also suggest that before anyone posts in anger, that they 
walk away from the computer for a while and think it over.

I don't like the way John was threatened, but though I couldn't 
agree less with Jeroen's position on the Israeli Palestinian 
situation, I don't think it was necessary or constructive to make 
references to nazis, however oblique, or to call him an anti-Semite.

I can feel John's frustration but he ought to know by now that you 
can't get blood from a stone, and you can't get a concession from 
Jeroen. 8^)
