Hmmm.... Two weeks ago? Or was it three weeks? Have to
ask the List Tyrant... Oops. List Owners about that.

Ah! So we are _finally_ getting to the point I want to
make.

BTW, in that statistics I may have counted among those
that defended Eileen�s _right_ to moderate based on the
List Etiquette, and the fact that lots of people complained
about that motivated me to propose changing the Etiquette.

My point [repeating again to increase my message count;
maybe I will become the Alpha-Mail very soon!!!]: _if_
there are rules and _if_ we design people to enforce
these rules, then we have to accept the application
of these rules by those that were assigned to do it.
_If_ the application of these rules by those that
we appointed to do that caused some disagreement, it�s
a waste of time to discuss the past, but we should
discuss the present and the future, namely, either
changing those rules or changing the executor of the
rules.

The Etiquette places that same weight on posting attachments
or on name-calling and shouting, so if one List-Taliban oops
List-Owner has the right to admonish me for posting an
attachment, so another List-Owner has the right to admonish
JDG for shouting [or name-calling, whatever]
