Dear Jean

thank you very much for taking the time and the apology. just want to
clarify something. and i will try to follow Lisa Simpson's style.

to me, rules are guidances and guidances are what leadership is about.
leaders are different from managers who are executives. execution is to
do with policy and policing.

the above is what i have in mind when i talked about rules and
leadership. and i never mentioned policing. although i did mention
power.

my personal view on the relationship between list owners, list members,
rules and policing is like this:

the list owners are the ultimate power in the sense that they set the
rules.
list members are the mangers who police themselves by the rules.

better?

i hope this discussion is going somewhere from here on.
