As usual, when Marvin gets serious, he hits the nail on the head. I don't have much to add, I'm afraid. I'm not in favor of commitees and things. I'd prefer that people just remember that we are in a way, visitors in each others' houses each time we post to the list. That's not to say we have to be nice or agree all the time, but that there ought to always be a measure of respect when dealing with one another.
