Good Morning Everyone,

This is your moderator speaking. Haukur and I have not been enjoying
the recent unpleasantness on list, and have decided to moderate _all_
postings to the list temporarily, perhaps relaxing this position later
if people get back on topic.

Recent inappropriate postings seem to fall in 3 categories:

1) Off topic flamage, personal insult, etc.

This list exists to discuss and practice the Old Norse _language_.
Not to discuss other people's mailing lists, language skills, etc..
If you wish to point out an error in someone's published or on list
translation, it can be done without including personal attacks, or
comments about their level of scholarship.

2) Complaints about flamage and off topic postings.

These are also off topic, and should have been sent to the offending
poster(s) by private email, not to the whole list.

3) Requests to be unsubscribed.

This you can do for yourself. The instructions are included in every email
message you get from this list.


Finally, for those with an overwhelming urge to post flamage ... post it
in Icelandic or Old Norse, and we'll accept it. That way at least there will
be some language practice occuring.
