<P>neat idea! i would suggest that all wanting to beef it out about whatever or who-knows-what show up _at_ a tough-man contest in jackson , ms on a sat. nite , pay your 6 bucks and jump in to the ring ans settle all once and for all. or maybe they ought to have a tough-man contest in tucson this year. it would be a good internationally-know location- i would pay $100 just for admission to watch! and i'm talkin' chairs, coke crates or whatever. winner takes&nbsp;all. have it right before one of the big&nbsp; skyrock auctions. i'll inquire about a venue and a beer+hotdog&nbsp; sales license.<BR><BR></P></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;To all list members:
<DIV></DIV>&gt; This list is NOT moderated. It is open to any and all. There are a set
<DIV></DIV>&gt;of "rules." If someone CHRONICALLY violates those rules - especially
<DIV></DIV>&gt;the one about obscenity, EVENTUALLY Art will suspend or permanently
<DIV></DIV>&gt;remove that person from the list. Art is VERY patient and very much
<DIV></DIV>&gt;loathe to take such action. He expects people to moderate themselves.
<DIV></DIV>&gt; It might (and only MIGHT) have SOME effect to contact the people to
<DIV></DIV>&gt;whom one objects OFF LIST and let them know of your unhappiness
<DIV></DIV>&gt;with their list behavior. Ironically, those who "act up" or "act out"
<DIV></DIV>&gt;tend to actually somehow FEED off of public condemnation. It is a
<DIV></DIV>&gt;strange phenomenon.
<DIV></DIV>&gt; What seems to "work" the best is to totally ignore obnoxious behavior.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Most of the worst offenders knock off whatever they are doing if they
<DIV></DIV>&gt;don't manage to "get a rise" out of people. They tire of performing when
<DIV></DIV>&gt;they get no response from their audience.
<DIV></DIV>&gt; Of course, if said person is a dealer, one can let them know they have
<DIV></DIV>&gt;lost ANOTHER customer due to obnoxious behavior. (again, off list seems
<DIV></DIV>&gt;to work best here - as ANY public attention seems to set off another round
<DIV></DIV>&gt;of acting out).
<DIV></DIV>&gt; Don't hallucinate that Art "should" be a more active "moderator" in
<DIV></DIV>&gt;enforcing the rules. It isn't his "job" - he just set up and maintains the
<DIV></DIV>&gt;list out of the kindness of his heart. It isn't his responsibility how
<DIV></DIV>&gt;people choose to use the list. It is OUR responsibility how we use
<DIV></DIV>&gt;the list.
<DIV></DIV>&gt; Hope some of this helps.
<DIV></DIV>&gt; Best wishes, Michael
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;

<DIV></DIV>&gt;Don't accept rides from strange men, and remember that all men are strange.
