-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey Donna, I'm going for exactly that, efficiency. I've had over 50 subscription requests which I think says a lot to what people want.
I've ran this idea by Chris. He's not really even willing to fully moderate Chris gilland, so I don't think this is going to work. I think he's just worried about stepping on Cara's toes should she decide to return. As I've said, my idea isn't to rule with an iron fist. You all can do whatever you like as long as you are nice to people. I think that's a good enough guideline. That would elimenate so much of the arguing I have to dig through here to find information. The gems shouldn't be hidden under a pile of trash on any list like this. On 8/26/2015 8:10 AM, Donna Goodin wrote: > Scott, as you know I'm basically in the same camp as you.
