>I have enjoyed the attitudes of the recent postings for the most part...

Glad to hear that.  Most comments have been favourable.

 A year ago, BEE-L decided to raise the bar.  In the process, a few fingers got stepped on, but the list as a whole is much better off.

As a result of the new policy, the moderators are being more picky.  Any apparent trolls, barbs, accusations, tangents, personal comments and attempts to divert to personalities and/or meta topics (like this) are much more likely to hit the bit bucket, as are long winded speculations, expressions of faith or promotion of panaceas.

Our best contributors have taken this in stride and shown good humour when a submission did not make it over the threshold.  We are now seeing former lurkers uncloak and offer tidbits. of wisdom.

Thanks all for keeping this mostly on a high plane and understanding the intent.

Hopefully we will now end this diversion and return to our nomally scheduled programming.
