Rob, et al,

If I was was harsh, I apologize. If I hurt someone's feelings, I 
apologize. Public enough, Rob? I also applaud Rob for having the 
sensibility and decency to discuss this intelligently and without crude 
insults.

My opinions stand. IMHO there's a double standard. The digest rules 
state one thing, but the rules don't seem to be enforced equally: If the 
bubbas are behind something, it gets pretty much accepted by the rest of 
the digest, whether or not the published rules are followed. OTOH if the 
bubbas don't like something, they are among the first to cry that the 
rules were broken. Convince me this isn't the case and I'll go away.

To Richard: It's your digest, change the rules to whatever you want. But 
if there _are_ rules, shouldn't they be followed by all and enforced 
equally? Can you say anarchy?
