Garth, we need to have one of these meta-threads once in a while, because
this list is a democracy, not a dictatorship. I don't profess to know
what everybody wants out of this list, I just know what I want out of it,
and therefore I don't want to lay down the rules, but rather let all of us
in the "community" sort it out amongst ourselves what we want.

I have always been against strong government, and censorship of any form,
and prefer the self-regulation that we have seen in the past few years
that we have had this list.

If you don't want to have your say on what you want out of this list (and
the LUG in general) then that's fine, but please don't deny us the chance
to voice ours.

 - Matt
