[Tango-L] Bye for now

Future posts by "Noughts" and "Vince" are temporarily being reviewed to 
ensure that they are rules-compliant. This is usually done for posts 
that violate the "no flaming" rules (most other rules violations get a 
warning, or are often ignored if they are minor and/or not repeated).

I hope, however, that they do continue to post, as much of the content 
was otherwise informative and interesting.

As far as another reader's comment:

> other.

Point well taken, but allow me to suggest a more constructive response 
(than complaining to the list, or at least in ADDITION to complaining to 
the list): Post something to the list YOURSELF that is the kind of post 
you would like to see, written in the way you would like to see it 
written. No better way to make the point than by example, and the list 
then benefits by a well-written contribution as well.

And anyone who is reluctant to post for fear of being attacked: well, 
indeed your IDEA or OPINION may very well be "attacked" (disagreed with, 
perhaps strongly, though one hopes respectfully), but any PERSONAL 
attack, although I cannot guarantee will never happen, will certainly be 
short-lived, at least on Tango-L, and should therefore become rare.
