So long as the moderator is a moderate moderator and doesn't jump on
people's backs for referring to a rainfall in, um, common terms. IE
referring to my local wet weather as, P something down. Receiving a, warning
off email from someone who was never introduced as moderator? Well, I was
not best pleased, nor was I pleased to be informed that, although this was
the way folks might speak in Ontario, it certainly was not the current
language of Scotland. I found this comment rather infuriating and in bad
taste. I do agree that a list must be well moderated and the use of bad
language must not be tolerated, but lets not go overboard. If someone does
cross the line, I think a little diplomacy will serve better than insults.

Subject: [access-uk] Moderators on the list!
Hi All, I would just like to take this opportunity to mention a few things.
Firstly, thank you for putting up with the inconveniences over the last week
or two. I myself have had no end of problems trying to even log onto the
website for admin of the group. For this reason. George Bell kindly offered
to help out as he already has some experience with freelists in running the
duxbury list. George has therefore been working closely with both myself
and Barry and George has been given, by myself, full rights as a moderator
and for group administration. In the transition of Access-UK from
Yahoogroups to Freelists, his experience has proven invaluable.
At this initial stage of transition, I am sure that with the presence of
some glitches, tensions are raised. For this reason, I am sure that
everyone can exercise some additional patience and treat others with the
respect that they deserve.
Shortly, a new updated list of guidelines will be sent out, please digest
these with the onset of the new list. Without mentioning any specifics,
please do be careful of the style of language used on the list. I know of
several children who also read some of this mail and, please respect the
wishes of the moderators.
Best regards to you all.
