Hi Charles

I think you are not alone in your sentiments.

I think, like you, many people are still subscribed. However, the forum has
lacked direction and rules of engagement for some time; something we are
attempting to remedy now.

Have you read the draft list rules that we are currently discussing?  I am
due to create a new version, based on recent comments, today/tomorrow.  If
you would like to have input but would prefer to do this offlist please
don't hesitate to contact the Chair or List Monitor privately (or, indeed,
myself).

The current version can be found here:

I would value your input

Best regards

Debbie
