Thanks Glenn for handling the situation the way you have Glenn, and no we
don't want to monitor Chris, we think you have been doing the right thing
with him.
Do you have the power to kick anybody out of the SLAGA group?
As for as using a password to read the archives we think that is a good
idea.
Thanks Glenn

Thanks, but i think i am finding myself way out on a limb all of a sudden.
I have made an off to a list member to be the official "keeper of the kid"
and deal with him and all other repercussions that may develop from his
presence here. I am still waiting for a reply. If i dont hear back, all
y'all shall decide *IF* we want him here and who will be his keeper. That
person will get "moderator status" to deal with the Experts posts if he is
to be moderated at all. As this time he seems to have left the building but
i am sure he is reading via the archives which are still not passworded
even tho i know i did password them a while back.
Another vote item. Do you want the archives freely available to non members
(and spam bots) or passworded & closed ( 'yall would have the PW of
course )
just another thing to think about.
