Interesting to me that Sellam shoud say that he doesn't
want me to be the
one to decide solely how the list is run. There is a rather amusing footnote
to that which I really didn't want to share. But....
At the time of the last major political flame war on the list, I received
tons of email from many people DEMANDING that I ban Sellam. I refused, on
that occasion, for reasons that I am not sure I can now recall. That is the
only time I have ever gone against the majority will of the list. So Sellam,
you are here only BECAUSE I am the one to decide solely how it is run.
Nuff said, lets get back to the list topic please

Actually, I am pleased you refused to ban Sellam - since I suspect that
having him is more of an advantage overall. In fact, a big advantage.
In closing, I also vote that Jay has the final decision on how to run
the list - since Jay has always shown reasonable judgement in the past.
And last, but again probably most, thank you Jay.
