No way. I am completely against this even though I don't violate any of
these rules, for the most part.

Boring. That we all love OtR DOES keep it tangentally related because I
want to know what other people like me are doing/thinking so I can evaluate
my own possitions from a simular, yet different angel.

That is just so much hell, you have to sit there and count.

Next we'll start dictating apropriate email adresses, right?

The highly intrucive, easy to misunderstand rules.

<sarcasm> Great idea. </sarcasm> That's what kill files are for bucko, if
you want it done so badly, do it yourself.

"A bad listee?" I'm not even gonna start.
Gardner.
((PS- This letter was written to prove a point. Before this PS, it is in
violation of each of your rules.
*It does not relate to OtR
*Original content was less than quoted content
*The sig file is six lines long
Under your sugested form of censorship, I would be unable to post to the
list for a week afterwards. If I wrote a few more simular letters I would
be unable to post to this list ever again, or until I got myself a new email
adress that you didn't know was me and the whole thing started all over
again, whichever came first. Unless, of course, we resorted to tracing the
origin computer of a poster, or we could just stick little yellow stars on
bad posters. Yeah, that would be a great idea.))
