Sorry mate - doesn't sound like a club I want to join. Sound like a
prescription for a very dull list which would vanish in a mire of tedium
fairly quickly. Doesn't sound very democratic either. Would interminable
discussions about list policy be 'on topic'?
Not to mention that you seem very keen on 'discipline...' ("you've been a
very naughty boy..")
AndrewF rotating slowly and seeking closure.
