----> Well said, Honorable Lord.I do think we need to keep this
list open, but that is a double-edged sword.Sometimes hard words
(or at the very lest, strong defintions) are needed.As someone
who'se spoken too hastily, or unwisely, or been too quick to
judge in the past I as well understand your sentiment.(But I have
grown quite a bit from the PRIVATE chastisings that i've received
at those times) Extra letters of complaint and such would seem to be a bit
knee-jerkish. And that is something we all need to be a bit more
careful about.But certainly, well written and thought-out
arguements, or at least definite correction of misunderstandings,
or plain outright mis-truths need to remain a part of this
list.I guess w`at i'm trying to say is that the only fair
way to mantain the freedom of this list is to allow all forms of
agruement, using only coursety and our own personal restriant as
our guides, and also to keep in mind that sometimes honor
compels us to define w`at is important to all of us who put so
much of ourselves into this dream.
