[David Kummerow <farmerjoeblo AT hotmail.com>]

Hi George,

To turn to your 'survivor' example, there is always the option for 
people to 'remove themselves from the island' due to the 'conduct' of
others on the 'island'.

I'm with Yitzhak: a list that seeks to promote scholarly sincerity in
relation to the analysis and discussion of BH should not have to suffer
a continual barrage of entirely obvious erroneous and fanciful 
mumbo-jumbo trotted out and paraded as matter-of-fact linguistic truth. 
The list is, and should be, above this. Somewhere a line needs to be 
drawn to protect long-suffering list members from 'voting themselves 
off' in the interests of their in-box. The value of the list is 
diminished if people move on because they have become 'sick of the island'.

Sincerely,
David Kummerow.
