Re: [ga] List activity

Until and unless we change our rules the rules which were adopted in 2000 apply.
  http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/2000.GA-ga-rules.html
  Monitors do not make rules they enforce them. Note we have changed without objection the monitors. In the recent past no one has really abused the rules on a daily consistent basis. We are getting close now with one veteran.
   
  Think of it this way; Booze, Vitamins and Carrot juice are all good for you in proper portions. Overdue those portions and you will have bad results.
   
  If any four people object on list and will take the effort to change the rules, then I will support that effort fully and get our Secretariat (and now I guess Kent Crispin) to implement the changes.

    I believe Joe Baptista is the list monitor, correct?  As such, and due to the 
  fact there has been no limit set on number of emails posted announced,
  I must admit to some significant confusion.  Can you explain Dr. Dierker?
   
  Joe, have you set or announced any setting of posting limits?

  Hello all and welcome to all participants young and old, rookie and veteran.
   
  We have some very strict rules of etiquette here.
   
  Limit to 5 posts a day and no personal nasty attacks.
   
  We have the worlds best monitor, and he constantly shows his tenured judgment by showing restraint. I am certain that if someone yelled "fire" on the crowded list he would both put out the fire and chastise the yeller appropriately.
   
  There are a couple of "newcombers" who may have "violated" a posting limit. And we have one old timer who loves to consistantly exceed the limit. But these are not earthshattering events and we all just kind of live with it.
   
  The most abhorrent personal attack we see here is condescension mixed with pompousness and insulting anothers intelligence. However the list rises up to these occurences and we are all stronger in the aftermath. It is not a fragile demoecosytem and it weathers all storms.
   
  Personally and as Chair I have most appreciated the tit for tat exchange regarding matters of high importance lately. It is likewise important to remember, this list/forum has suffered from lack of participation.
   
  New participation by anyone is greatly appreciated, however there are no free passes regarding a position. If you simply count numbers of posts and posters, you will find that participation inevitably goes up when a vitrolic caustic post goes up. I guess like a soap opera ratings deal.
   
  Welcome again to all participants.
