    Extropes -

    We are in the process of changing our "extropian" list. I'll be making an
    announcement about the new lists very soon. Up until our new lists are
    generated, please help to make this "extropians" list a smart and pleasant
    place to discuss, debate and challege ideas.

    Regarding the "extropians" list, we have now tightened our belt and are
    taking subscribers off the list who have abused list rules in the past and
    those who continue to disrespect the ideas and values of ExI, "extropians"
    and list members. We have asked over and over again to please post with a
    sense of respect to others and we have always welcomed criticism, when done
    productively. Not all criticism is productive. Some criticism is harmful
    to our community. I have received so many complaints from list members
    about out of hand postings that I have had default to either asking people
    to take a break from the list or remove them from the list.

    In September, when the new lists are generated, everyone's slat will be
    wipped clean and anyone who has left the list will be welcomed back. Yet,
    our rules will be enforced more tightly so we do not have to repeat past
    problems.

    my best to all,

    Natasha

    Natasha Vita-More
    President, Extropy Instittue
