I will drop off this thread after this post, as it seems that things are
working toward a solution.
I would suggest though that it is rather frustrating to see all of this
ink and blood spilt over what seems to be a misunderstanding.

You don't - you never have. This list has been in existence for several

This had not been an issue to date - it seems that this is solvable, and
a way to create trust between the communities.
I'll add another issue that has been thrown out
- people getting thrown off the list or excluded
This also has not happened.
Thus,
it is a bit frustrating to listen to this conversation and the search
for a cure to a problem that may not have actually ever existed.
