Hello All,
That a vote ensues at the moment on this matter is bizarre...at best. That
"gentlemen's agreements," the notion that no written policy exists, etc,
persist is, well, beyond bizarre. See below the very specific policies of
the list that are sent by Art Jones to new list members. Note in particular
"7. Limit AD posts to once-per-week (i.e. refrain from spamming the list
with ads)" Is this really so difficult?
All the best,
Dave
