Having been involved personally in one such suit, without any merit whatsoever, I speak from experience. It ruined a small part of our life for over two years. But I still beleive that this should not stifle discussion. The fact that GSAS uses a mailing list rather than a forum means the discussions sit only on the archive, which we could make private at any time. - Erik On Wed, 4 Jan 2006, Bob and Judy Holmes wrote: > Just thought I'd pass this along as a "heads up".
