            As I said, the rules can and should apply within the
              list, but applying them outside the list is odd and wreaks
              of authoritarianism.

    In the 20 years I've been using PG, I've not noted any bizarre "list
    speech" except this discussion that suggests others should monitor
    people's behavior wherever they are, and report any "infraction" to
    PG, so PG can boot them.  I'm with those who think that idea is
    diametrically opposed to open source's freedom.  What next, monitor
    what apps people are using their DB for and decide if the
    "community" approves of its character or not?
