Mike,

>From your 10/02

"This created a "privileged class" who were not held to our normal rules of
behavior. The long term result was to destroy the helpful spirit of our list
and decimate the ranks of our lay community"

This hit home to me.  I am not playing List Cop.  You are welcome to that
job.  As it happens, I read your "Redux" as I was preparing to respond to
Roger's request for my scientific background on-list.  I am sure Roger has
only the best of intentions in setting up his little sub-group.  At the
moment I made my decision not to join this group, I felt that it would only
add to the fragmentation already existing.

Best Regards,

Arnold
