Speaking in general terms, the admins are concerned primarily with
technical management of the mailing list, i.e., making sure that the
software is working properly.

There are two situations that, however, require the admins to intervene
in posting _content_:  (1) to halt spam.  (2) to halt major eruptions of
offtopic spew.   These matters are detailed at the top of
http://www.svlug.org/policies/list-policy.php , and comments /
complaints / suggestions are always welcome _on_ the Volunteers mailing
list.

The original upstream post was showing signs of starting, in my
judgement, to approach point #2 (depending on further postings that
might have then followed), such that I felt it wise to post a friendly
listadmin advisory, but that no other action could be in any way 
justified.  In my post to Volunteers Cc'd to that poster, I also took
the occasion to mention a couple of other concerns about his post (which
please see, if interested).

I also stressed that follow-ups about list policy and actions should
please be posted to Volunteers and _not here_.  

Note:  I am now _reiterating_ that latter request to, specifically, you
and Scott Hess.  Thank you.
