I'll defend Brad's right to pass along racist humor, and to
make money from GEnie.  I do wish, however, he weren't so
elitist! -- a charge I think substantiated by his latest
postings on creation/deletion guidelines (while he's
right that the net is not a democracy, that's no reason
for turning it into an oligarchy).

My suggestions: leave creation guidelines as is (as are?)
for now.

Deletion guidelines: remember that individual sites can
decline to carry groups, so I think the presumption should be
in favor of any particular group.  Therefore, it should
be 100 more votes to delete than to keep before a group is
deleted, with no minimum number of keep votes required --
and a vote may not even be considered 'binding' (or what
passes for that on the net) unless there have been fewer than
5 postings over the previous four months.

Para un Tejas Libre,

Jeff Daiell
