Hi Don,

Not talking about a probationary period at all, and not speaking about *new* subs. specifically either.

I wrote about:

Using "quite review" as a *monitor*...  "when one can see things heating up on list                                      between members, or even if there has been some
                                         sort of private exchange between a list owner
                                         sub. where one can sense that the member is
                                         unhappy & might retaliate on list-etc."

Hope it's clear now.
