Jim, >Also, I suggest that people be informed of the IRE Mailing List >policies. When I joined the list, I was told by the list operator, >Mr. David Conrad, that some people on the list requested that >I "quietly be removed". This was, according to the people who sent me mail after one of your many diatribes, due to your performances on various other mailing lists ([email protected] in particular). The people who asked that I remove you from the list did so because they felt you were incapable of either being productive or acting rationally. >Instead of removing my name, Mr. Conrad and I agreed that >it would be best if I not post to the list. Actually, I believe the agreement was that you were free to post to the list if you could be constructive. >I think that people should >be told that some people on the list would like to be able to >control who participates. Well, yes -- in general, mailing lists with a specific task would like people who can productively contribute to that task and who can refrain from being needlessly inflamatory and/or posting irrelevant diatribes. Very simply, if you can't work and play well with others, you will likely find yourself unwelcome. >People should read the exchanges on >the list with that in mind, and should probably also be cautious >when they post to the list, because they might be "quietly removed". As I mentioned publicly, I am very hesitant to take such actions as I prefer to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. However, as I believe it is the responsibility of a working group chair to insure a working group remains focused on the tasks at hand, people who cannot will be removed as a last resort. Sorry if this offends. Regards, -drc - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
