Wim,
As Will already said:

Will's a smart guy.  I'm sure he recognizes complexity and 
nuance.  At this point, while it may, on the face of it, seem an 
irrational leap to blame the Board, you ought to acknowledge the 
depth of frustration and distrust that has been percolating over this 
issue in the last year.   For my part, I would note that it was a bit 
hypocritical of me to attempt to inject levity into his honest 
expression of exasperation, and yet I got pissy when Keith McGavern 
and Terry Buckingham did the same to me in response to my complaint 
about a posting delay on one of the new lists - Off-Topic.

Since I mentioned Terry, however, I would like to respond to 
something he said with regard to this current discussion:

What I was suggesting moving to PTG-L was not the  discussion of the 
mechanical problems Will encountered, nor whether the Board ought to 
be responding more effectively in dealing with the whole range of 
list issues.  It was the overtly political aspects that remain 
inappropriate for this list.  Also, and not to be provocatively 
critical, Terry (a fine fellow, I'm sure) is very likely incorrect 
about its effectiveness AND whether THEY care.  As it happens, 
PTG-L  am us.  Every one of us PTG members.  Whether or not I am an 
Hired Logic booster (I'm not),  I am as baffled as the Home Office is 
as to why so few of the membership subscribes to that list.   Yeah, 
sometimes it's boring, but it's there for us, the membership.  If we 
don't use it, it's our fault.  Simple as that.

Time to watch the Daily show and LOL -
