After thinking about what I wrote, I change my mind about putting a prohibition about "going offlist" in the guidelines: it's not the list's business if I want to have a private conversation with someone. If you don't want to hear from someone on the list privately, say so in a return private message and they won't trouble you again.

Evidently not. I've had two of my private messages forwarded to the list this week. Dave _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
