As was done when the list was created. The owner/moderator's job is to corral those who stray too far and/or repeatedly from this scope. It is not the owner/moderator's job to constantly redefine it because people feel the need to push boundaries already defined. It is the poster's responsibility to respect those boundaries. -- Mark C.
