<html><body><span style="font-family:Verdana; color:#000000; font-size:10pt;">Greetings,<br> <font style="font-family: Verdana;" size="2" color="#000000" face="Verdana">As
a new member of this list and having seen nothing obviously worthy of
suspension from Mr. Williams in my short time here, perhaps I should
find out where your rules are published and read them for myself. I
manage quite a few lists where people have open disagreements on
internet and education related topics, but disagreement, itself, can
not be grounds for dismissal because then you have a small cheering
section and not a real and vibrant discussion. There must be another
reason, some other rule I need to learn about. Where are the rules,
that I may read them.<br><br>-Karl E. Peters, President<br>Top-Level Domain Association, Inc.</font><br><br><br>
