The Logic Off Topic list

Thoughts from the mind of Jeremy Martin, 24-10-2002:

Sigh... there's no arguing with you...  Sure, fine, have your way.

Jeremy, I'm very well aware of how this list is run.  And if by now 
you still don't understand what I mean when I say "unmoderated", then 
I simply give up.

>only step in if things got out of hand again.

For the record: this is what I and others object to.  Esp. your 
apparent criteria for what constitutes "out of hand" situations.
