By *all* do you really mean all? As in shutting the discussion groups
down for a period of time? That would be awfully unfair to innocent
bystanders. Or do you mean all involved in these recent threads?

Well, Larry himself has said that his patience had worn thin, and I think
we all saw that post.

There are many aspects of "Admin" duties that Larry has been carrying out
for months without (to my knowledge) ruffling anyone's feathers. Realize
that administering posting privileges is only one aspect of what "Admin"
means. For Larry to be pushed away from Admin roles altogther would be a
grand mistake in my mind. I acknowledge and respect your right to your
opinion, but I think LUGNET would be much better served by a set of more
formal rules and procedures defining what powers an admin has, what's
expected of them in terms of tasks and conduct, and clear steps to take
if these rules are not followed. Clearly, then, judgments can be more
objective.

Thank you for taking the time to express these sentiments in such a
thorough and thoughtful way.

We're closely following everything that's being said on these threads and
attempting to understand and put into perspective all of the various
viewpoints.
