It is open to any and all. There are a set <DIV></DIV>>of "rules." If someone CHRONICALLY violates those rules - especially <DIV></DIV>>the one about obscenity, EVENTUALLY Art will suspend or permanently <DIV></DIV>>remove that person from the list. Art is VERY patient and very much <DIV></DIV>>loathe to take such action. He expects people to moderate themselves. <DIV></DIV>> It might (and only MIGHT) have SOME effect to contact the people to <DIV></DIV>>whom one objects OFF LIST and let them know of your unhappiness <DIV></DIV>>with their list behavior. Ironically, those who "act up" or "act out" <DIV></DIV>>tend to actually somehow FEED off of public condemnation. It is a <DIV></DIV>>strange phenomenon. <DIV></DIV>> What seems to "work" the best is to totally ignore obnoxious behavior. <DIV></DIV>>Most of the worst offenders knock off whatever they are doing if they <DIV></DIV>>don't manage to "get a rise" out of people. They tire of performing when <DIV></DIV>>they get no response from their audience. <DIV></DIV>> Of course, if said person is a dealer, one can let them know they have <DIV></DIV>>lost ANOTHER customer due to obnoxious behavior. (again, off list seems <DIV></DIV>>to work best here - as ANY public attention seems to set off another round <DIV></DIV>>of acting out). <DIV></DIV>> Don't hallucinate that Art "should" be a more active "moderator" in <DIV></DIV>>enforcing the rules. It isn't his "job" - he just set up and maintains the <DIV></DIV>>list out of the kindness of his heart. It isn't his responsibility how <DIV></DIV>>people choose to use the list. It is OUR responsibility how we use <DIV></DIV>>the list. <DIV></DIV>> Hope some of this helps. <DIV></DIV>> Best wishes, Michael <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Don't accept rides from strange men, and remember that all men are strange. <DIV></DIV>> Robin Morgan <DIV></DIV>>-- <DIV></DIV>>http://www.costofwar.com/ <DIV></DIV>>-- <DIV></DIV>>SUPPORT OUR TROUPS: <DIV></DIV>>http://www.takebackthemedia.com/onearmy.html <DIV></DIV>>-- <DIV></DIV>>Worth Seeing: <DIV></DIV>>- Earth at night from satellite: <DIV></DIV>>http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/image/0011/earthlights_dmsp_big.jpg <DIV></DIV>>- Interactive Lady Liberty: <DIV></DIV>>http://doody36.home.attbi.com/liberty.htm <DIV></DIV>>- Earth - variety of choices: <DIV></DIV>>http://www.fourmilab.ch/earthview/vplanet.html <DIV></DIV>>-- <DIV></DIV>>Panoramic view of Meteor Crater: <DIV></DIV>>http://www.virtualguidebooks.com/Arizona/GrandCanyonRoute66/MeteorCrater/Met <DIV></DIV>>eorCraterRimL.html <DIV></DIV>>-- <DIV></DIV>>Cool Calendar & Clock: <DIV></DIV>> http://www.yugop.com/ver3/stuff/03/fla.html <DIV></DIV>>-- <DIV></DIV>>Michael Blood Meteorites & Didgeridoos for sale at: <DIV></DIV>>http://www.michaelbloodmeteorites.com/ <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>______________________________________________ <DIV></DIV>>Meteorite-list mailing list <DIV></DIV>>Meteorite-list_at_meteoritecentral.com <DIV></DIV>>http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list <DIV></DIV></div><br clear=all><hr> <a href="http://g.msn.com/8HMAENUS/2740??PS=">See when your friends are online with MSN Messenger 6.0.
