I do not recall that membership on these lists required making myself 
available off-list to anyone who cared to hail me. In point of fact that 
has happened, in all the time I have been here (and I was here before we 
became an autonomous collective, so that puts it back a bit) exactly 
twice. Based on the amount of time i have spent manually discarding spam 
and virii sent to the list, I believe it is obvious that my filtering 
unsolicited email will not affect anyone who replies to me here.

I am sorry that LinuxChix as a whole has deemed itself the judge of my 
administration of my own servers. I have been very glad to participate in 
the give and take of these lsits, happily vonlunteered my time to tend to 
administrative tasks on more than one of them, and been standing by from 
the beginning to assist with any web chores that needed doing. 
Unortunately, the name-calling and abuse I have put up with the past few 
days with regard to what is essentially none of your business is 
unpleasant enough to cause me to withdraw. The internet is too big and too 
full of fruitful linux/technical/programming discussion to put up with 
this treatment.

I hope you will all have fun, and play nice.

Bye,

Raven
