That was my intention.  I do wish to state that this list is not 
moderated, but neither does that suggest that I am asleep at the wheel. 
  I'm not content to let my e-mail lists be "self-cleaning".  What is 
unstated in that analogy is that in the "washing process", you lose a 
lot of good people, and someone causing an issue may or may not "wash 
out" at the end of the day.  A little structure; and the knowledge that 
if someone gets abusive, you don't just have to endure it or quit; I 
think is something people want.  I hope that no one ever feels that this 
constitutes "censorship" in some way.
