[PEN-L:6847] Please

[Michael Perelman <michael@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had hoped yesterday that this controversy had died down.  In the
process, I learnt much about pen-l, including a better idea of my own
role.

I have asked Shawgi to post 3 times a week at the most.  I have done
nothing of the sort to anybody else.

I do not think that returning his posts serves any purpose except to
distract us from more important business.
