Brad, To those of us who value this list highly, the agreements we forged in years past are very important. The list is like any community. Things work better when people abide by the rules, even when those rules are merely understood rather than strictly enforced. As you pointed out, the list is unmoderated. Thus we depend on the gentlemanly (and ladylike) behavior of our community members to maintain decorum. You sir, are in violation. Paul Stenquist
