Somebody hates somebody and lots of somebodies hate others who who don't
use smileys and isn't there a list moderator to catch these posts in the
first place!?!
 
Well no there is no formal moderator.  However the list IS self
moderated.  After all, didn't the first hate poster get called on his
hate message (which most recognized as a joke) but COULD legitimately
have been misconstrued as a REAL hate message by subscribers from a
non-US culture, some of whom thankfully have the sensitivity to
recogonize the possibility that hate doesn't always mean hate but
sometimes means hate?
 
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH!
 
Hopefully, eventually this list will mature to the point that when
someone posts something not worthy of comment that we will refrain
from wasting the bandwidth to do so!
 
Aaron Morris - thinking this'll waste a lot more bandwidth!
