Jenny,<br>
I might as well ask... exactly WHO is your staff. How do we contact them (your yahoo e-mail often bounces back). How about a more prominent posting of the rules, along w/ some kind of message each time they change.<br>
<br>
As to booting people, well it's your board, but rebellion is a tricky thing -- I've had a list explode and rebel because of a moderator and his trying to re-assert control over the list. It was quite messy AND nasty... people STILL <strong><em><span style="text-decoration:underline">HATE</span></em></strong> each other 3 years later. ;-( All I can say is <em>"...the more you try to tighten your grasp, the more members will slip through your fingers"</em> (to paraphrase someone)... Once they set up an alternate, that's it -- you've lost them AND control.<br>
