Re: Unfortunate ACTIONS

Way to go Art ! At least somebody has some class. 
Maybe now we can get down to the real purpose of this terrific list.
As the old saying goes (I think) -- "The needs of the many outweigh the
needs of the few".

Warmest regards,

Hello List;

Due to the overwhelming amount of mail I have received as of late regarding
the recent status of the list (and the in-affective request I recently sent
regarding the list), I have found it necessary to do the following:

+ Effective immediately, several list members have been un-subscribed and
will remain so for the time being (you know who you are)

+ Additionally, any member posting a 'blatant' advertisement (a subjective
term, but hey, it's my call) will be banned as well.

+ Any other actions that I feel are questionable will be dealt with on a
case-by-case basis.

+ The last action -NOT YET INSTITUTED- will be the moderation of the list.
I hope it does not come to this.

I really find it unfortunate (and sadly amusing)  that I have to resort to
these measures when dealing with a group of highly-educated adults. I
personally subscribe to several other lists and have never seen anything
closely resembling this type of immaturity and pettiness. Hopefully the
offenders will learn some sort of lesson.

If anyone has a problem with this, feel free to email me -or call- me to
discuss it. But from the responses so far, I feel that a round of cheering
will be heard throughout our community!

Regards, Art Jones
