Todd,

While agreeing with much of what you had to say, you should be aware that when the charter was adopted it was done extremely democratically.  There were probably 100+ of us on the list at the time, and we worked quite hard on the charter.  Michael did not impose it, and has accepted every modification.

Fred,

While agreeing with much of what you had to say, and having taken a similar position in the past, I think it has become obvious over time that the only way to hold the attention of the experienced list members who provide most of the answers is to allow them to chat off-topic.

Fred,

    I am probably way out of my place here, but being on the receiving end of MJM's wrath, all the while ignorant of the content and make up of this list here;  This is basically Michael's list (and others).  We exist here because of the time, patience, energy, and money Micheal (and a few others?)spend to administrate this list-serv.

   Michael has a life and a family, and probably much more imortant things to do with his time.  He choses to run this list server for his and all of our pleasure and enjoyment.  Michael has given me the "take you computer and go down the road speech" before; and that's putting it mildly.  While this list does have a charter, it is still the creation of MJM and not a democracy.  If MJM has the stomach to put up with my nonsense, then he (and all here) have the patience of saints.

   So as far as the procedures for adopting, recalling and amending the charter?  I don't thinks Robert's Rules apply here, but i may be wrong :-)

Thanks All,

Todd
   Not a sermon.....just a thought.
