I do believe a mailing list is a democracy, not the personal whim of the
single list maintainer. A mailing list should be set up to serve the
majority of people that use it, and to be accomodating to make the most
number of listmembers happy. What else is it there for?

There is a happy medium, here. This argument is as old as the hills, and
the solutions are simple. But it's a really, really sad day when we see
Clay and Al leave since they are some of the best contributors to the
list.
