Seen the heat I'm getting for my shorthand remark, in my own defence I feel I need to clarify what I meant. I think that however noble Nick asking the list about policy looks, I (as in me, myself, as a person ;o) ) am just not convinced that this would also imply that Nick will (not sure of the correct tense I need to use here) refrain from implementing any policy he wants to, even if a lot of people disagree. But that is *my* opinion. I think I'm entitled to it and as such put it to the list even if it is totally contrary to the opinion of the list majority..... that is...... unless I'm not aware of it opposing the current listpolicy that is... ;o) BTW, before I get skinned again.... that last remark was a joke..... Seeeeeee.... I even used a smiley. Seen as things are, the rest of the list seems to be in favour of this policy... so much the better for Nick.:o) I (as in me, myself as a person ;o)) don't like more rules and regulations, so I feel it isn't a good idea. But as I said, it is Nick's list so he _can_ do whatever he likes.
