Chris,
Lemme be the first to say that I sincerely don't want you to leave. I enjoy
your posts, your personality and the fact that you allow me to believe that
I'm still a Zuikohobbyist. <g> I can understand and respect your reasons,
however.
In Giles' defense, this type of situation has never come up in the 4+ years
I've been on the list. We have our little flame wars, but everyone
invariably comes to their senses, apologizes, and things move on as before.
Given that we're a community of adults here, the list is pretty much
self-moderating under normal circumstances and it rarely if ever needs
moderation. He operates this list for nothing, and spends a lot of time and
energy keeping it running with rare thanks from the participants.
FWIW, were I in his place I'd let us listees fight it out amongst ourselves
as well.
Please consider staying, and ride this storm out with us!
Thanks,
Dave
