As we have discussed before at the RML pissup in Melbourne, it seems that
the majority opinion governs the way the list is run (unless it totall goes
against the grain of Andrew or Alan, like postings on eating hamburgers,
drinking rot gut beer, or something like that) If someone must whine or
whinge address it to Andrew so that we all may be spared. Those of us that
have been here for awhile know what is accepted and what is not. If you
think a comment is out of the norm please spare us of it... I side with
Andrew and understand the frustration.
