Since freedom of speech is so important, I decided not to filter a member's
post, that member being Jeff Williams. I just created a filter that trashes
any message containing "INE Group". So I simply blocked those who are not
members of this group. If Jeff's posts contain references to that group and
it causes his post to get trashed, it's not my fault and I still have not
filtered out any member of this still so far nonexistant organization.

This really is too much! Marc Schneiders does us a favour (no strings
attached) and not only gives us the domain name but arranges for it to point
to our existing site -- so Jeff Williams wants to sue him and Jefsey???

No money has been demanded, nobody's rights have been violated, and we've
got the domain name people voted for. What on earth is there to sue about?

Jeff, all this time I have been faithfully reading your messages along with
the rest, despite a rather poor signal-to-noise ratio (to say the least) but
I am going to start filtering you out as others have done. Sorry, but even
my strong belief in free expression is not enough to make me read any more
nasty accusations and irrelevancies.

To be blunt, I've been hanging in hoping you and some others would come to
your senses and prepare to work as a group rather than play "my gun is
bigger than yours", wasting bandwidth for everyone. That's not what we
joined this group for.

Presumably we should now decide whether there should be a ballot on
Richard's motion, assuming he does not choose to withdraw it. If he does,
then we have the first-choice domain and should get on with the next task
without further ado.

Regards,

Judyth
