John, You Got It! Everybody, Jeroen is NOT BEING SERIOUS ABOUT THIS! Come on now - no serious person could say something that stupid! Jeroen is *flaming* us. Some people flame discussion lists by writing profanity-laden tirades. Other people flame discussion lists by posting absolutely ridiculous and insulting statements under a veneer of serious left- liberalism. Obviously, this second type of flaming is much harder to recognize and even more tricky to regulate - but it is just a great a threat to the long-term health of a discussion list as the first type of flaming. The only solution is for more and more people to recognize the threat that this type of flaming poses to our List, and develop the consensus to permit our List Admin's to regulate it. Of course Jeroen isn't serious about something totally absurd as this - but if we let him, we'll all waste valuable time trying to demonstrate his own absurdity to himn - and the truly valuable discussions on this List will get pushed to the side. Its happened time and time and time again here folks. Please, there is a better way. If you feel the same way that I do, please e-mail the List Admins and ask them to take action against the fundamentally non-serious list-flaming of Jeroen. Thank you. I now leave you to await Jeroen's protestions that he really is serious. Uh huh, whatever, Jeroen. JDG _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
