Well, Grant, you are partly right.  However, this discipline
started with the founder.  First in 1957, when the convention was
here in New Orleans, with Michigan being discipline for a
disaggreement, and then the big purge in Miami in 1959.  It has
never stopped since, I guess.  It is too bad because a lot more
good could be done if all of this humbug would stop.
