Hi Tom, i will say something here being the moderator of two other lists. If you Ban someone don't announce it on the list. You now probably know this considering the comments given on list. I shouldn't even say this on list but will in hopes that other mods will see the consequences of announcing business on list. Tom from what I've seen you seem to be a good moderator so don't feel too bad it happens to everyone sooner or later.

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. Adrian Spratt ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joy Tilton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 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!
