This is kind of a dead thread now.  I think we all have this under
control.  I am the new list admin/modorator/whatever.  I am working on a
Charter and a FAQ (as time permits).  For the most part, I was trying to
uphold previous "management" rules.  Right now, there really isn't a
problem and this subject is kind of getting old, so...

Just keep in mind that there are a lot of people on the list and be
kind...  simple enough.

I should have something together (the Charter and FAQ) this week, if you
think of a good question, send it to me _off_list_.

Thanks
