First off, you didn't see every action James ever took, and besides, whatever James did was what James did. You can't pick and choose. Now you must settle for the way the current admins do things. And work with us and the way we do things, rather than fighting with us every chance you get. > > Unfortunately, the people who make the most noise on the list when > > something is afoot are the old-timers who should know better. > > Noise in response to what?

Jan-Erik and Jinx posted emails with bad words to the list. Want to know what happened? They got emails written to and about them by the admins. Transparent enough for you? > > Maybe I should put them under moderation?

I don't see what you are trying to achieve. You are trying to push the admins around, and it appears you haven't actually paid close enough attention to see what was happening this weekend. If you would stop being spring-loaded to the "outraged and offended" position, and maybe switch to decaf, you might notice that the admins are doing their job and you can do your job. Practice some tolerance yourself. If you wish to continue a verbal assault, email it to piclist-owner@mit.edu but don't clutter the Piclist with it. -Bob -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Send your email first class -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
