John has written - maybe we should go back to the closed list version - people having to provide ids etc to join. what's the view on this? My view on this is that you have asked people to b/c you to comment/argue with you on your summary removal from the list. And now you keep popping into my inbox delphically responding to comments I know nothing about. You are adding to the confusion, indeed in this case you have created the situation by your hasty unfulfilled threat a week or so ago. I am amazed that you could not see the inevitability of censure once you responded as you did. I still think that there needs to be more than one list owner if only to get away from perhaps the most annoying thing about this list - the cult of you. Is it JK? What will JK say? What will JK do? He's so left. He's beyond reproach. Please stop swaying and swooping around this list and seek help. Paul %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
