OK.  God knows we need them!  My comments:

Some thought will need to go into how such a removal process would work.
"Incivility" needs to be specifically defined.

Permanently?  Have to be a pretrty serious violation to invoke that, I would
think!

|  Civility includes not to repost private correspondence, unless such

OK, I guess, although I've always believed private is private.

|  4. Provocations by way of false statements.

I like it!  But I'd better start keeping better archives!

|  6. At times of heavy list traffic, the moderator may impose
|  daily posting limits for all.

Well . . . OK.  But let's set a maximum duration for this.  Given my
participation style (uploading in spurts!) I need to be able to catch up!

Good Job, Joop!
