PIC-Listers,

If I may ... w.r.t. RM's concerns of James Newton's administrative
censure: I am an infrequent poster on this list and come to it for its
specialized attention of PICs and related E.E. topics, not contemporary
political-related harangues driven by our sometimes mad mad world. I too
have those opinions but stuff 'em when on this venue.

The otherwise esteemed RM may be allowing the bar too low by advocating
"any and all," er, seemingly doing so. I welcome his return to the
"core" matters of this list, moreover, I applaud it. How about it,
Russell?

James had a choice to make and I'm almost certain he did what he
thought was best for the health of the List: "Keep it PIC Or Else."

Who's to say that if those so banished were to reapply in good form,
that they will thus be readmitted, yea, even welcomed by PIC List
cohorts? Considering the above and other comment thus far, James has my
support.

2.    He's, as James noted, gone.

1.    Can't quite see the difference in the general sense.
I'm not a frequenter of chat rooms but, if I understand the concept
properly
(always suspect :-) ),  - this IS essentially a chat room * that has a
number of permanent reasonably well defined core threads and one
rather
ubiquitous ill defined core thread.

* Everyone is always logged on here - the messages come to you instead
of
you going to them.
