MODERATOR--Extraneous messages policy

[ewilkie@ix.netcom.com (Everett Wilkie )]

A few poeple have asked me if I am enforcing the announced list policy 
of suspending the posting privileges for four weeks of those who 
carelessly post personal messages to ExLibris, primarily by using the 
Reply function.  I would like to assure list members that I am 
enforcing that policy and that its enforcement has indeed cut down 
significantly on the number of such messages that reach the list. I am 
enforcing the policy in an even-handed manner.  Translation=there are 
no exceptions.

I have received some complaints about this policy, but mostly from 
those who have been its victims.  I'm inclined to continue the 
experiment for a while, since most people seem to like the results.
