Re: [atlarge-discuss] list confrontation(s)

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

Michael and all fellow members,

  Michael's suggestion here is of course just not reasonable for
a number of obvious reasons.  Here are just a few:

1.) This is a membership driven organization.  Not a "panel" driven
     organization.
2.) Any and all such consideration related to the management of
     this public forum known as the "atlarge discuss List" is the
     ONLY forum that members have presently by which the
     members can debate, discuss, and/or otherwise communicate
     with other fellow members.
3.) Such a provision as Michael would suggest gives unequal
     posting time to potential future panel members at the disadvantage
    of other members.  Such will could lead to discontent amongst the
    membership.
