Dear Eldon,

Fine, but I have one further suggestion: no "calling out" listmembers
by posting challenges to them with their names in the header. A much
larger discussion forum I belong to has this rule and enforces it
consistently, and it seems to help the atmosphere. It's an aggressive
tactic that promotes a contentious atmosphere, and recently it has
descended to a new and dehumanizing level. (Of course it's OK to add
a note "reply to John" to make it clear who's being addressed.)

Cheers,

Paul
