It looks like both Max and Lee are correct on this. I mentioned "zero
tolerance" in the Exponent, but did not write that into the revised list
rules. Consider this both an apology to Lee, and a retraction of the "zero
tolerance" mentioned in Exponent.

That said, the process I mentioned in my earlier posts still rings
true. Ad hominem is *not* allowed on this list, and the list rules
directly reflect that.
