There was no
ruling beside two things - The 10 year rule
Originally, the ten year rule was
"an arbitrary thing". It was not picked
with precision nor with real specific reason. With regards to the revocation
of same, I honestly don't know where you were when this was discussed at
GREAT length, MORE THAN ONCE on the list. Every time it was brought up -
after discussion on the list - I went with the idea that the 10 year rule
wasn't appropriate anymore. Most people on the list agreed. And when a few
people keep bringing up an issue that was already beat to death so badly the
horse was unrecognizable... sooner or later I'm going to say "enough". I
totally disagree with your characterization that 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 think
I've earned the benefit of the doubt that you seem to reserve. Jay
PS - I don't know for sure exactly how long I've been running the list. I am
guessing just under 10 years. I may be off a few years. I'm not going to
take the time to pick up the exact date.
The list was formed in '97, and you joined in late '99. I don't remember when
you started hosting the list, but I think it was in late 2000, or sometime
in 2001.
