I guarantee you the Communications Committee is on the job.  What's =
more, they are doing a GREAT job - for no money and apparently no =
gratitude.  It is worse than thankless, no matter what they do they will =
be derided.  Filter someone and they get flamed.  Leave someone allowed =
to post and they get reamed.  I'm shocked anyone would actually want the =
job.

So, I propose a new rule: To flame the CC, you MUST have volunteered to =
be on the CC.

IOW: Put up or shut up.

Since I have not volunteered to be on the CC, and would not serve if =
asked, I will only thank them profusely and beg them not to give up amid =
the criticism they constantly receive.

Thank you Communications Committee Members!
