The list I co-"own" is small. I recently started sending a monthly note to the entire list, reminding everyone of our intentions and gently warning them to do any flaming and/or private discussion *privately*, i.e. not through the list. If I see a problem, I let the user know of it. If it continues, I use THE POWER!!! ...quiet unsub... Keeps the asbestos suit in good condition! :-) I also occasionally through out a question or thought to generate some action...the list tend to get pretty quiet at times and I start to wonder if I'm in the Net Zone! ;-> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pam George Co-Owner: Commodore Discussion List BITNET: psgeorge@ecuvm1 INTERNET: [log in to unmask] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
