This certainly needs more of an explanation, "snide remarks about Board members given no second chance".
Does it? We have seen Jimbo attacked (quite often, and recently). We saw Geoffrey Kohs take aim at Angela, a recently-departed Board member. These things are in the list archives, posted on the Web. I really don't know why we tolerate use of this list for people to let off steam. (Well, I do, of course. There is a reason to have steam let off in a controlled manner. But it undermines the list's status as a serious forum.)
I agree with Fred - it's a talking shop.

OK, that's what I wanted to know -- I was unaware of that. I only recently joined this mailing list. Thanks.
