Well said, Joy. Gangstress of love indeed. I'd like to add that Tom has run 
this list in his short time as moderator with civility, grace and 
intelligence. I sympathize with listers who don't want to read another 
message off-topic like this, but considering some of the criticism received, 
I feel it's important to lend support to someone doing a task calling for 
many sensitive judgments with the skill and care Tom has shown.

Wait just a minute. Wile I'll agree that the once off S bomb is nothing to 
be upset over, I did see some of Lin's messages where he got on people's 
cases for maybe not taking the time to read the whole page, this that and 
the other, like everyone has to be as intuitive as he. One of the people who 
protested the bann said he thought this list was to help people. In Lin's 
case, he was being somewhat helpful, but in a way that can be a bit 
offputting, especially for those people who may not be as literate in some 
forms of computing as other forms. How would you feel if you had a question 
and you asked, and someone came at you with an answer like, "RTFM!" Some 
manuals are as off-putting as some people's additude that everyone should be 
as smart as the writer who wrote the mannual.

Think about that!
