Your reference was to be able to post R-rated like material.  The main
criteria for R-rated criteria are adult concepts, bad language, sexual
references and violence.  Adult concepts are acceptable, the others are
not.

Why should personal attacks be acceptable on any list?  If what someone has
posted is incorrect we are free to post the correct information and point
out the other person was not correct in their post.  There is no need for
personal attacks, we are only interested in the messages, not the
messenger.

The GA is not interested in the personalities or shouldn't be.  The content
and the outcomes are what is important.

I am also subscribed to GA-FULL and not the main GA mailing list although
they are linked.  All my posts go through the normal channels.  If you do a
search through the archives you will find plenty of references to see why
the GA-FULL list was set up.  It is not an alternative list for posters to
make use of as they like.
