it seems that everyone has an opinon, as it should be. however, in this particular case, i am most interested in the opinon of the list owners. i used to think this list is an open list and everyone (including the list owners) is equal in his/her opinions. but then i was told once by the list owner that they owned the list and they could kick me out any time. so i came to accept this fact and to hold the list owners as the leaders of the list. so please, could we see some leadership. - rosan wai yee chow
