It's the ListMom's List. His List, His Rules. No exceptions.

And what does "Out of many, (is) One" have to do with this (or any other)
list?

You may be mistaking this (or any other) list for a democracy. It most
certainly is not. If we are lucky, it's a benign dictatorship.

There is no "freedom of speech" on a mailing list. To paraphrase, "we post
at the pleasure of the ListMom". If the ListMom dictates we must all append
"The ListMom is God" at the beginning and end of each post, we must do so or
leave the list.

If he wants to sell his stuff on the list and not allow anyone else to sell
their stuff, that's his prerogative. Just as it is ours to not like his
rules and leave the list - possibly to start our own.

I'll repeat - His List, His Rules. QED.
