Ah - I was afraid of this.  It's hardly my place to make apologies
for others but I'm sorry this has happened and I would hate to
lose BOC-L because of it since it's been a part of my life for a
long time now!

I'll gladly abide by the rules and I really hope other folk will be able
to.    Courtesy is not the norm in Netland but it would be good if a
small amount could be preserved at least in this domain since it is,
I fear, somewhat of a dying art and it's good to have somewhere I can
still get messages from folk who are polite as well as passionate about
the things they enjoy.

cheers
