Hmm... This got me thinking.  I think perhaps I may have been misunderstood 
in a previous posting about Mark, and I just want to go on the record to 
make sure there were no misunderstandings.

I posted rather lengthily at least twice about the difference between free 
speech where any mode of expression goes (which Erik favors) and free speech 
that is presented civilly (which I and others favor).  I thought that Mark 
should be warned against what was becoming rampant cursing.  Erik disagreed.

I did not, however, want Mark removed from the list because of it.  I 
waffled back and forth about it in my own mind, but I don't think I ever 
suggested on-list that Mark be removed except when he had started to post 
huge volumes of email, at which time I suggested (and I believe the 
suggestion was off-list) to the list owners that he be warned about 
excessive volume which several folks had complained about on-list.

Just for the record.
