I'd be thankful she's nomail and not responding. But I'm a firm believer
in letting sleeping dogs lie. Or the female of dogs if appropriate. (as a
breeder, I don't consider bitch a dirty word, but know others do)

I've never heard of such rules, but my philosophy is a bit different than
yours, I believe. I'm in charge of the rules, I make them, I enforce them,
I interpret them. The rules may not be discussed on list, though I'm
always glad to have input by private email.
On a list where it is "democratic" like yours, such might be appropriate.
