Policy Statement

[Koontz John E]

It has been pointed out to me that one of the posters on this list 
referred to someone else as a Siouan Groupie.  I believe this was 
essentially an unfortunate variant on Siouan List member.  However, I will 
have to insist that this form of reference be avoided in the future.

In general, if I believed anyone was being deliberately and personally 
offensive I would be forced to delete the offender from the list. 
Relevant criticisms which are obvious or defensible, such as "Koontz's 
execrable ear," will be considered on a case by case basis, though I would 
hope for a more merciful phrasing.
