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^) -- Doug email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.zo.com/~brighto
