Janet, I think Version C is an improvement. However, it still states an absolute that may not be true for all: "Listmembers are here to share their vulnerabilities" Actually, I would think that information exchange (PIE = Parkinson Information Exchange) is the primary reason listmembers are here; some may not wish to share vulnerabilities at all. As for the first sentence, "If a member of this list persists in unwelcome and unsolicited communication involving personal attacks on another listmember, the offender's subscription may be subject to termination." -- if Barb, you and others feel it's necessary, so be it. To me, it seems be micromanaging. I much preferred the list run exactly as Barb has done from the start. Every list I belong to (and there are many) has all the same problems as this one, including scammers, spammers, flamers and quacks. They invariably cause unpleasantness and fill up mailboxes with a volume of responses. I don't think it's possible to avoid that, human nature being what it is. However, Barb has always dealt with isolated problems smoothly and well, and my personal preference would be to continue that without change. I feel that the nature and tone of the list is shifting in undesirable ways. My opinions are my own, however, and may not reflect those of the majority.
