List gatekeepers

[Jim Hurd]

	I agree totally. I know more than a few people who unsubscribed
from PACS-L because of the excessive meddling of the list deities. Almost
as humerous as the threatened lawsuits there, was a threat by one chap to
fly from New York to Seattle to kick someone else's butt, which took place
on another list.  Ah, the electronic age.
