Re: [ga] List Monitors

["JandL" <jandl@jandl.com>]

For the past few days, my inbox has been inundated with list 
protocol and suspension...  Quite frankly I have better things to do 
with my time than to read these messages.  There is work to be 
done.

In terms of Mr. Corliss taking action, I can certainly understand 
wanting to bring this list back to some measure of decorum and 
relevant subject matter.  It is regrettable to see that those who 
opposed a person's individual affiliations are now on the attack to 
remove him.  All I have seen are excessive posts from those people 
with nothing constructive to offer wrt to issues facing the GA.

Might we forego these attempts to disrupt the list and get back to 
the issues most important to the Internet and the GA in particular?  
Attempting to undermine the Chair and Co-Chair's efforts are not 
going to help this body.  

Can we please see the WG lists established so that we can WORK?
