[Af_List] could this be the musical equivalent of the Freemasons?

[Tim Baird]

Man, the aflist is turning into the musical equivalent of the Freemasons!

Stephen C., I  was unaware of the supposed 'moral' code of this list 
that you speak of.
I didn't realise I had to bow down to your view of what you consider to 
be moral and
what is not. I have since gone out and brought a large white cloak so 
that I can fit in with
you  and the 'some people' you talk off. And I've been learning the 
'secret handshake'
for the elite group's next clandestine meeting so that I can fit in.

I really like Steve Kerr's summation of what's been going down on the 
list and I agree with what
he's saying.Well put.

Hopefully this bookends what is fast becoming a rather boring pointless 
overly pedantic argument for arguments sake?

We can all live in hope

Tim.
