Richard,

"Before we have any further discussion of the recent round of accusations, I
would like for the accused to have the opportunity to make their statements
and then we can decide how exactly to proceed. I take these allegations
very seriously and I share in the concerns that have been expressed to me
privately and those set forth on the list. However, part of being
above-board and even-handed requires that we hear (read!) both sides."
I believe these accusations should be addressed by all before any further
work is done by the guidelines committee. I was just contacted by the
contact person for my region for my ideas/suggestions and I believe that the
guidelines "project" can not and should not move forward until the present
issues are resolved.

To the best of my knowledge, there is no one currently on a moderated status
on the list. Tim has provided me with the password for the list and has,
essentially, appointed me moderator for the time-being.
For the duration of this appointment, I can assure you that *NO ONE* will be
placed on a moderated status because of their opinions or because what they
have to say differs from the positions taken by those in a position to
moderate. Of course, the regular rules of decorum (including not flaming
and the prohibition of the use of vulgar language) must be followed. But,
please rest assured that you will NOT be placed on a moderated status
because *I* disagree with your opinions (of course, if you say I am ugly and
my wife dresses me funny, well, then, you might find yourself moderated
without regard to the fact that you have stated a truth that I agree with
<maniacal grin>).
So, within reason, let's chat.
