[Corpora-List] Off-list discussion (about "corpus syntax")

[Bob Parks]

In the most open minded spirit I can muster, could I suggest that we 
all follow our own lights, and live our credos?  For those who feel 
discussions should be taken off line, could they please take that 
discussion off line, to set an example for others? And for those who 
feel open discussion is important - could they please continue to 
participate in the best spirit of their commitment to the advance of 
understanding and courtesy to those who are affected?
Thanks,
Bob
