that opens a fresh can of worms - who decides who is fit to moderate?
Boot is much simpler.
Ah. Wonderful my dear friend Kenneth. I though you were a lawyer. So
does the law permit you to execute a person if you can not give him a
fair trial? For whatever reasons that be.
law and democracy have nothing to do with mailing lists. Admin is the
boss - if he boots you are booted
I know this is getting a bit personal, but I strongly disagree with
such browbeating attitude. The problem caused by this single piece of
unwanted mail is NOTHING compared to the huge amount of OT discussions
we have. Such threads are often extended by so called 'experienced'
members of the list. So why not kick them out first?
please distinguish between mere breaches of etiquette - not trimming
posts, top posting, getting OT, being longwinded, using smsspeak -
with behaviour that damages the list. The first requires peer
pressure to rectify, but the second can only be cured with the boot.
And i think anything personal you may have against me could be taken
offlist.
