I'd like to ask the AIR members and leadership to rethink/reconsider our stand on guidelines for posting to this list
Mary and others, the executive committee has been discussing this a lot lately, so don't feel your concerns have gone unnoticed. I think it's fair to say that if there is a consensus amongst list members that we need to create a new standard of guidelines and means of enforcing them, we are open to doing that. My preference has been to let the list speak first. This list has been going for just under two and a half years and has grown from 14 members to over 1,000. It's reasonable to expect weird periods from time to time, and net scholars ought to figure out together how to get through them with the kind of list we want this to be intact.
