Tony, please note that I did *not* say that certain things could not be
discussed. I said that certain things could not be discussed *on this
list*. Without having some rules for our private community, chaos will
reign. That doesn't mean I want to set rules for anyone else's private
community.
What's the big deal about putting this discussion on another list? You can
even send a message here pointing interested parties to that discussion.
We've done remarkably well without moderation. Let's try to keep it that way.
