  The flood from those claiming falsely to be members of INEGroup
has taken a significant nose dive in case you haven't noticed sense
I activated the EM Bot, ALex.  It is indeed unfortunate that we
have a few members that wish to engage in such utter nonsense.
I agree also that the Web Site was indeed hijacked in a sense,
as has been the Panel.  However the Panel has a very specific
mandate of which it has yet to complete any the work items that
pertain to that mandate.  However list censorship is not amongst those
tasks in the Panel mandate.

  Well the list should never have been hosted by Thomas in the first
place.
However sense it is an most members are familiar with it, I believe it
should remain in operation or be moved to ICANNATLARGE.ORG
Domain and server as soon as possible.  If Thomas no longer wishes
to host the Discuss mailing list, that is understandable of course..

  You suggestion is a very bad idea because the Mailing list
is the main source of communications for the members and your
suggestion smacks of censorship.  CENSORSHIP IN ANY OF IT'S
CORMS IS WRONG!  Hence I would strongly suggest that
no posting limit be imposed, but that only members and guests
be allowed to post without limit or any such censorship rules
that the members do not vote upon in the majority...
