Dear List Owners, Here I would like to express my great appreciation to everyone who advised me on how to handle net misbehaviors! You, list owners, showed me by example how a list should function. I went ahead to announce the new measures against foul language and personal attacks. Though I received some myself almost right away, I was fully prepared after taking your words. Our list is still not completely stable, but I have to say the first step was quite a success. What surprised me -- a pleasent surprise -- was that most of the list subscribers didn't leave, which is very likely an indication that abusive users were indeed a small number and hardly supported. This boosted my confidence. The next few weeks will be important, I gather, but with the help and support from my friends, including many of you, I am much more relaxed than a week ago. :-) Thanks again!! Kind regards, Jim -- Go isn't everything. Go is the only thing. -- zhuge
