ADMIN: list etiquette

[Peter Schulz]

Brett:

I had to read your post twice to be sure that it wasn't posted on April 
Fool's day, and therefore a joke.

Your  "list etiquette" goes way beyond what I would consider to be reasonable.

You may be the admin of this list, but this list lives and breathes by the 
knowledge and the experience of the membership.

We can (and will if necessary) find another "sandbox" to play in....which 
may leave you administering an email list of 1....
