We have to decide what our policy on this kind of stuff _is_ before we can announce it. It's not like we call each other up on a 3-way long distance call and chat for an hour or two. (Though if you would like to volunteer to cover the phone bills, we could talk about that.) We're not all logged in at the same time, so it takes some time for us to have a discussion. Like I've said before, the best way to reach us is by moderator email. You should not assume that because I read Martin's post that I also read your post. I don't recall that I had, but even if I did, I would not have felt obligated to respond. The appropriate place for such questions is moderator email. At this point, we have worked out some basic ground rules for how we are going to do things, but there's some stuff we haven't worked out yet. When we're ready, we'll probably make some kind of statement. But if a week from now you haven't seen such a statement, then use moderator email and ask us, and we will answer. Since the beginning of our term (i.e. not very long ago!), two accounts have been suspended, and a third suspension has been proposed. Please don't think we're not doing anything. We're trying to put out fires before we get to the niceties, that's all. Dave
