And I would agree - I don't believe single cases should serve as the basis for 
determining list policy. But I do think they can stand as evidence of how the policy 
is being interpreted and enforced.

And, yes, there may have been errors made - but I attempted to seek clarification 
by writing to the listowner address (I confess I had lost the name of the listelf I 
was supposed to keep when I joined the list) and received no reply.

So I'm left with the assumption that my post did violate list policy - which I don't 
have a problem with. Provided the policy is enforced fairly.

Now, today, someone has e-mailed me and asked to see the post in question. If 
I'm told there was a mistake made with my post, that would change my position on 
TBAY by a reasonable amount. I still wouldn't like it myself, but at least it wouldn't 
seem to me that a double standard was at work.
