I don't strictly stick to the charter. There have been off topic posts that I've let pass without comment. In my "platform" I mentioned that I would be tolerant of off-topic posts because I don't think that the general attitude of the membership is that they want strict enforcement of the charter in this regard. >My personal point of view is that (1) COULD/SHOULD be no problem.

That's all I expect from everyone her. And I don't think that I expect >too much. I was sitting here at 8:00 p.m. my time, which was 11:00 eastern. I saw a post labelled "off topic but funny". It was a joke relating to positions for intercourse. I felt that it was going to cause trouble if it stayed, so I deleted it. I don't mind some off topic stuff, but that is asking for trouble. We got two complaints about the Spanish language version, so that is gone as well. bruce
