Admin: The recent FS thread

As of right now, the user who began the Freedom Scientific disapproval 
thread has been delt with. I'll now take a minute to remind *everyone* that 
we are not an FS-affiliated list, and therefore problems with FS should not 
be directed here, but to FS themselves. We are, as I've said before, 
roughly 90% JFW users at home, and 60% JFW users at work as well. 
Therefore, while we may share some of the same concerns as you, we cannot 
and will not attempt to provide an official answer to your problems. 
Instead, we will work toward helping you deal with them as we have. 
However, if it'san official/proffessional answer you're looking for, it 
should go directly to FS. We are all volunteers on this list. No one's 
paying us for what we do to help out, we've just all been there at one 
point or another. The idea of this list has always been good, clean 
discussion. While the occasional debate/argument will undoubtedly break 
out, and there's very little any of us, moderator or not, can do to stop 
it, even that has limits. This recent thread has passed those limits by a 
considerable measure. Let's hope what happened the last few hours will 
serve to remind everyone that, while our intentions may be nothing but the 
best, even an unproffessional list has to possess some degree of diplomacy.

James,
List Admin
