Everyone's responsible for their own postings.
If Michael's post had contained words written by Jeff that were against the 
list rules, Michael would have been suspended.

For the record, William Walsh and I were the two persons who reacted to 
Jeff Williams' slanderous posting. I took action before I saw William's 
complaint, since the offense was completely obvious to me.
