(ok. it had something to do with speaking inappropriately. FTR, all sides
said Mark was classy in apologizing, and seem to suggest he was merely a
victim of youthful indiscretion.)
(agora26. start with item 102, work your way back.)
(you're welcome, again.) ;)

re: 144 -- That's unfortunate in and of itself. As a matter of fact, I am not
interested in stirring up anything. I am interested in understanding how Grex
operates, because it is (apparently) vastly different from M-Net.
So, anyone treating my contributions to the discussion as nothing more than
merely stirring up shit, is not only missing the point, but missing the
opportunity to explain things to new users, and old users who never thought
to ask before.

(Actually, it sounds like he might be trying to shed his M-Net affectation
and become normal. It's possible, and actually doesn't take that long)

re: 155 -- Perhaps if you'd drop the notion that all M-Netters are unwashed
heathens, it'd be easier to determine what is "normal" and what isn't.
For the record, I still think you probably enjoy granola more than the average
person who lives outside of Ann Arbor ;-)

Of course I know that not all M-Netters are unwashed heathen, but that's why
I used the word "affectation" to describe acting like the worst example of
the stereortype.
And for the record, I not only enjoy granola, I even bake my own. :)

I actually paid to see heathens last night (however, although I did not
examine them closely, they appeared to be recently washed..)
What was surprising to me was the eerily familiar "Ann Arbor" look of the
rest of the paying audience..
(the "heathens" in question were the Scandinavian folk band Hedningarna,
whose name is reputedly translatable as "Heathens")

I think Marcus did a good job of explaining why we don't have an
"acceptable use policy." It's also true that we've never felt any very
compelling need. There really haven't been all that many people
demanding an AUP.
M-Net does have one. See http://www.arbornet.org/rules_a.html
There are different lists of things not to do on Grex scattered around
here and there. For example, if you created your account with the
web-newuser, you saw this page, which has quite a few rules on it:
http://www.cyberspace.org/nu/welcome.html . I don't think it would do
any great harm to post a more complete list someplace. Trying to make
it absolutely complete, formal and binding would run into kinds of
problems Marcus talks about. But if you keep it somewhat loose ("a list
of some things not to do on Grex") it might be constructive.
So I kind of agree to Marcus up to a point. Over-formalizing these
things gets into all sorts of problems that Marcus describes. But
informal things (like the Grex staff notes on privacy) are still useful.

No policy is every "complete, formal and binding" forever (or even,
necessarily, for a week.) The reason for *adopting* a policy by board
vote is that it doesn't change arbitrarily and capriciously, but it is
always just as easily changed as it was to adopt.
