Folks,
There has been a lot of acrimony displayed on the list in the past week. It's counterproductive and unnecessary. Ad hominem attacks, while common in a world of strong egos, do not further the common interest and should be taken off-list.
On some of the academic lists to which I belong, there's a standard rule: moderators automatically reject the submission of any post not signed with the name and affiliation of the author. Perhaps we should pursue a similar policy, so that anyone making a comment must be willing to attach his or her name to it rather than hiding behind multiple aliases.
I realize this is not a truly "moderated" list, but maybe it's time to consider that option.
