(Rejoining this discussion after a couple of days' absence...)

Re #131: Well, I am often in strong disagreement with the people I said
that I agree with (on this issue) too.  :)

Re #140: "By the time Valerie deleted John's [jep's] item she had found out
that many people did seriously object and that most perceived it to be in
violation of a rule she hadn't heard of."

Hmm... Well, for what it's worth, when she said "It's longstanding Grex
policy that the person who created an item can delete it," (exact quote,
see resp:68,11) to justify deleting the diary items, *I* was the one
surprised by a rule I never heard of.  There was no such written policy,
nor any pattern of past practice to support it.  It just seemed to come
out of the air, and to contradict to what I thought Grex had stood for
over the past twelve+ years.

Re#146, #147: It certainly was not a policy articulated or supported in
practice by anything I've read so far as I've recently worked my way
through archived conferences.  And while I've been away from Ann Arbor for
a while and people do change over time, that is also not a policy that
would have been supported by many of the grexer's I knew personally from
back then.

Same here.
