George,
We have no problem on PAGEN-L, if it is voiced that others do not wish
to hear anymore about the topic, the posting stops. WE do not continue
answering things that were said prior. Therefore I do not think Pa has
a need for another list, as we have never had a problem. We all respect
each other on this list.

PACHAT could be open... just because TNCHAT is not open doesn't make that a
rule for PA. Regarding the posting by the SC... I would put that into the
category of a mistake.

That is fine so long as other subscribers to PAGEN don't get too upset by
the political talk. I was only offering a suggestion that worked in TN.
There were quite a few CCs in TN who "hated" the political talk.
