Absoltely agreed.

Also agreed.

While I totally agree with the fact that harald and roberto have 
offered constructive solutions, I have a problem with anything that 
cuts out voices of others, as insane or unwanted as they might be.  I 
personally use Eudora filters and refrain from responding to those 
that DO get through.

Unfortunately, it seems to be already.  The NC has usurped control of 
the GA.  The GA doesn't have much of a voice whatsoever.  And most of 
our time is spent debating the disruptions rather than doing 
significant work.

I'd personally rather we get things moving with the work of the GA 
and deal less with the disruptive personalities.  Let's exercise self 
restraint first and not respond or self filter and see if that is 
helpful.
