While some may or may not like it, there HAS to be someone in charge ... and
that is Jay. He has always been open to suggestions and mildly tolerant of a
*bit* of list "noise", and I see nothing that indicates a change. Personally, I
think this list is very lucky to have someone with his knowledge, resources, and
dedication running this list ... it appears to be a mostly thankless job.
Jay, thanks MUCH for all the work you put into this list!
Now, hold the horses. Has there been something I
missed?
Like some putsch? So, who is the ruler that gave us the
revocation of our basic rule, right today?
That would be me, the owner of this list. And given my past indulgence of
many peoples behaviour on the list, I rather resent the "ruler" and "right
revoker" implication/characterization that you make.
This has been a benevolent dictatorship for a long time - since I took over
the list many years ago.

Thanks for all the public and private notes of thanks and support... but I
must humbly beg to differ on this point. I think that in the recent past
I've done a horrible job of keeping things on-topic and orderly. I'm trying
to change that.

Seconded.
