Mr Walsh in his zeal for carrying his vendetta anew to this list, has some
problem with the truth here.
I never opposed the list rules. I suggested an improvement.

What I said was this:

Harald,

There is a danger in having rules (especially filtering rules) that are be
implemented only at the discretion of the Chair or the Sergeants at Arms.

Therefore a suggestion for a minor improvement:

Challenged identities, insults and slander.

In order to make sure that the SaA will actually act to protect the list
from these, there should be a provision such as:

"complaints about list-behaviour or challenges about a poster's identity
are directed to the Chair , who must instruct the SaA to take appropriate
action".

(What that action is, can then be seen from following the ga-unfiltered
list. It is clear that there should also be ways to sanction a Chair who
would allow filtering rules to be applied in a biased manner)

Also FYI,  Mr Walsh started this thread with the out of context reference
to my posting on the IDNO list that refers not to GA reform, but to the
fact that the GA has gradually come around to accept the need for an IDNO
constituency.

Just to set the record straight.
