This note is to make group members aware that the messages posted on
this group will henceforth be treated as follows:

1) If the message is clearly about something only within the purview
of the moderators, then one or both of them will respond with text
within the message before posting it. Others may then respond also.

2) For any other kind of post, the moderators will not respond for at
least a week in order to promote and encourage some response from
members of the group.

I and Kitty have decided on this new approach for several reasons. The
best way to learn something is to actually do it rather than just to
read. It has always been our hope that the group will become a seminar
where not only do others often do the necessary research to both bring
forth new ideas (which a few members definitely do), but also where
others respond to general questions or contribute well stated and
researched comments, new viewpoints or simply additional information.
