Absolutely right! Whoever sent this is 100% correct. The rules on this list
are neither too harsh or lenient. When we subscribe to this list we make an
agreement to abide by the rules. If you can't agree to abide by the rules or
don't have the character to abide by your agreement, you should sign off of
this list.
