I'd like an answer to that too.  And I'd like to see some changes to the
administration.  I have some concerns with Cindy's idea of elections because
I've seen that tried once before on another list, and in that case, it made
matters worse.  In that case, though, the elections were poorly run (set up
to be unfair), and I think that was the main problem with how they turned
out.  Although I don't have any alternative solutions (yet), I sure have a
lot of concerns.  I'd happily support an election if it came to that.  And I
too fail to see how Cindy has done *anything* wrong, either in this post or
in the original issue with the list elves which she had to bring onto the
main list.

Melissa, agreeing with Nox that arbitrary forced unsubbing is a pretty darn
frightening thing
