[WikiEN-l] Tag-teaming (was: Fvw's abuse of admin powers)

[Poor, Edmund W]

Let's not continue subject tags that imply someone is guilty. Most of
the time it's a baseless complaint from someone who was banned or
blocked for a very good reason.

I have changed the Subject in the e-mail thread as follows:

* Tag-teaming (was: Fvw's abuse of admin powers)

And when you reply to _this_ message, please strip off the part in
parentheses, so it looks like this:

* Tag-teaming 

Thank you.
