Frank Tedesco,

Why are you sending us this stuff unbidden?  I really would like the Korean
mail list to be for news about members, announcements about Korean
conferences, positions, etc., and discussion between members over matters
of fairly wide interest to the members.

Your latest contribution even seems distasteful.  There needs ot be some
criteria for selection of what you send that all have agreed upon;
otherwise one wonders what the agenda is.

This list, as you know, doesn't have a moderator to screen things, and so
we rely on eachother to restrict our use of it to the items mentioned
above.  Since it has been pointed out that people can access the items you
send themselves, I am baffled why you should presume to impose your
selections on us.  It is more than a matter of our having the choice to
delete things without looking at them.  That is not the point at all:  the
point is why you should send things like this to us in any case.  The list
is useful for those things that we can't very easily access otherwise.

I thought I would send this to you personally because it is possible that
there are some things I might have overlooked or misunderstood.  Also
because it is not always helpful to air disagreements publicly.  However,
if you think there is a strong case for your continuing, I will take it to
the list for further discussion.

Yours,

Ken Wells
