Russell,

I'm not talking about two lists, I'm talking about focusing the piclist
back on the original core values.

In other words, you would not be allowed to post things like "It's
official - there is no reality" under the EE tag. It would be barely
tolerated under OT if at all, since it is just tech info-tainment -
anyone actually interested in Quantum Mechanics presumably already
visits tech websites that cater to QM.

Additionaly there would be no tolerance for the long-term personal
bashing thread that is hopefully coming to a close today.

The help I am offering is administrative, in case any of the admins who
have been running the piclist decide they wish to take a break.

Cheerful regards,

Bob
