I'm Sorry (Was Re: OK, Time to make an attempt at ending this...)

[snip] No, I did that. One of them was a mistake, the other (from Bill) was intended. I am not completely pleased with my behavior two days ago, still, the list continues and our crisis seems over. So since we, as a list, will now have the opportunity to decide who should maintain the list in a democratic manner, what's left to do is make amends and work out the details. I've taken partisan views by involving myself in this whole mess so I am _not_ a viable candidate for list maintainer. We need to find someone else we all trust and who hasn't offended anyone. Will someone chime up? I'm hoping that Bill will let us continue to host the list on his server; I'd rather not have the list change over to a new host, it's just one more PITA to deal with. Finally, while I don't want Sam as the list maintainer, I'd like to publicly apologize to him both for some of the things I said in private email, and for one private email which I mistakenly posted publicly. Sam has made _significant_ contributions to this list and I respect him for that. I've sent him a personal apology in private email and asked him to rejoin the list. I hope others who respect Sam, and the contributions he's made to this list, will do the same. Sam, I'm sorry. Please accept my public apology for both posting private email and for jumping the gun in accusing you of censorship. I was wrong and wish to make amends. J. Maynard Gelinas
