[stylist] Ruling on posting adult content to STYLIST

[Robert Leslie Newman]

Barbra and Jim and others who would like the warning to read more
specifically:

Yes, the warning could be more specific. If one of you or a couple or
several of you wish to get it worded out (there was an interesting phrase),
then we can ask that it be used. (I was thinking that just may  be "the
next" point needing clarification.) 


thank you all- this mailing list can truly be one of our best resources. And
I say "can be," if we respectfully and intelligently make it be.

Write on 


Respectfully yours

Just "contains adult content"?  I'd think it more relevant to write
"contains strong language" or "contains violence" or "contains descriptions
of sex".  Adult content is pretty broad.  I, personally, might read if it
had two of the statements but not the other.  It's what the Braille Book
Review does so one be informed.

A Congress that will always do its work in the dark must have something to
hide.  The people have spoken, yet they do not listen.
