Thank you for your comment, John.

To you I say, thank you for being patient with the situation. You know 
I tend to move very slowly on disciplinary matters when they are not 
really acute. I depend on people to govern their own behavior. For that 
to happen they need feedback, some private and some on-list. It takes 
time.  

In this case, I'm seeing new people's behavior being influenced in a 
negative way by long-time users who should know better -- something I 
want to stop.  

To the rest of you I commend John's remarks as important to remember. 
It *is* a matter of respect.  

If you find John's attitude to be too restrictive, please note that 
your preferences *are* respected in that I will almost certainly never 
tighten the controls here so much that he would be completely 
satisfied.  

So, I call upon *you* to respect his needs, and others', by helping us 
travel the middle ground on which few are totally comfortable but 
nearly all can make progress... together.  

End of sermon...

Be well,
