I don't know. This makes me uncomfortable. First of all, anyone
that is actively involved in the internet will eventually figure out
the "hard-core" trouble makers. The net may be appear to be a big
place, but in my experience, it really isn't.
Keeping an "impartial record" seems too power-trippy to me as well as
ineffective. There is nothing to keep a crazed person from closing
one net account down and within 5 minutes getting another. It seems
to me that we should be dealing with the mechanics of the problem,
i.e., how to keep a closed list closed.
I cannot understand why anyone would not want to keep their list open
to non-subscriber postings. Is there something I am missing?

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it
is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to
the music he hears, however measured or far away.
