I try to keep a close watch on matters and if things begin to stray I try to
put them on notice. Actually there isn't a whole lot of bad stuff that goes on.
Flames are usually killed internally within a couple of posts. Some running
jokes and personal stuff does go on but I feel that is more for building 
community so I allow it. If it becomes too much or too obscure I ask for it to 
be stopped either publicly or privately.

I do agree, and this has been mentioned a couple of times before, that replies
should be trimmed to only the pertinent facts being replied to. If your server
does not allow this then make references to a remark and try not to repost
everything.  Also, please cut off any the subscription information at the 
bottom of replies.

Please reconsider some of the messages that are posted and maybe send them
as a pm instead.
