[Sigia-l] List Moderation

[Ken Bryson]

For what it's worth, I don't have a problem with the bulk of what Derek has
to say.  Although I'm not a "victim" of his, it is ironic that the irate
rebuttals to Derek's post are what have pushed this list off topic into
personal mud slinging.

It's the reactionary flames to what Derek has to say, that get me.
Unfortunately, it's the community as a whole that is to blame for this, not
simply one person for presenting his opinion, no matter how "unreceived" or
inflamatory.

In the end, you always get what you deserve.
