Nothing, really, I just believe in teams in volunteer work, because then it's more likely that somebody in the team has the time and the energy to do what's needed. > Also, why wouldn't (it be the duty of a DD/it > be in the interest of a DD) to make such notification to an offending > individual in private and to CC another officlal (list admin, DPL, > soc-ctte leader,etc.) so that the official can be alerted and if > necessary make the suspension or other appropriate action? Most people have an innate respect for the authority. If a listmaster mails me saying that my posts to -project are inappropriate because of X, I'm more likely to believe him than a random developer saying the same thing. I'm not a social scientist, though, so I cannot say if my generalization is valid. And, having DD's do the step one would just mean that the burden for making decisions falls again on the listmasters, who have said that they much rather not have that burden (and I agree, they've signed up for the technical administration, not social). Also, in that case I agree with MJ's point that it's better if the decisions are made by somebody who is familiar with the problem, not by somebody who has to first study it. -- * Sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology (T.P) * * PGP public key available @ http://www.iki.fi/killer * -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
