Rumor has it that Jay West may have mentioned these words:
...I am being dictatorial or setting up oppressive
rules. And in all
honestly, I think a majority of the list wouldn't characterize my past
(nor present) behaviour that way.
I certainly wouldn't... I don't say "list-marm" without reason - This
list
has become a 1500-child 1-room schoolhouse with Jay doing his best to keep
the peace, and just like teachers nowadays, he doesn't even have a ruler to
rap us on the knuckles with.
I like to think that in some [a]*small* way it was
[b]*partly* my
leadership and accomodation to all parties that got us through that (as
well as a few other "crisis")...
Yet another piece of info that states Jay's not the "evil overlord" here -
as the needles should swing closer to [a]*huge* and [b]*mostly* WRT what's
stated above...
In addition, over the past roughly decade here... I
can only think of
one time I went against the lists wishes, and that was when a majority of
the list wanted Sellam banned.
And Jay made the right decision, as the "rest of us" were all emotionally
bent on this - Jay used his *brain*.
And *maybe* this is against RFCs, but one of my .sigs is quite on point
here, so I'll include it before the very end of my message:

What do you think my "incentive" was for writing that little missive???

Jay, here's my ASCII ruler. I hereby subscribe to try to never give you
reason to use it, but I give you permission to whack my knuckles with it if
you deem necessary. ;-)
If there's anything I can do to help, just holler!
Laterz,
