The administrators stay out of this kind of thing. This list is not
moderated in any way. We just make sure it keeps running in the
technical sense.

Comment 2:
>Keep your flames off the list - that's not a request, but an order.

If the _administrators_ don't have the authority, how can you? That
statement's just as rude as the one which started this mild flame-fest.

Klarinet's an anarchy. There are no police here. If someone steps
outside your bounds of decency, you have a number of choices:

1) Put the person in your personal "kill" file
2) Put the subject in your personal "kill" file
3) Hit "delete" often.
4) Email the "offender" with your views.
5) Bother the entire list with your followup.

I normally use options 3 and then 4.
