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. Reggie Bautista _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com
