I am getting ready to leave town, please excuse the brief reply,
but I said I would try to respond to any questions. This one seems to
me of great importance. So, for the record: "The reason I subscribe and
support the NativeNet list is because I feel it is important to hear and
share ideas between people. It is always easy to hear the idea with which
one agrees; however, IMHO it is often more important to listen to those with
whom one does not agree." I will not descriminate against anyone. Most
importantly I think it is important to remember that this list is here to
serve Natives from every place and land AND to facilitate understanding
and sharing between those groups and the more dominate cultures. We can
not do this by censoring ideas. Gary's outline of moderation duties seems
to me clear and fair. Upon these I will base moderation decisions.
