Rich,    (01)

This forum is not moderated (and therefore, you don't need mine, or
any body else's agreement to make a post.)
The only thing *a member must do himself or herself*, is to make sure
the subject being posted or discussed is consistent with the Ontolog
charter [1], and that the act is compliant with our contribution
guidelines [2] and IPR policy [3].    (02)

My earlier comment to Pavithra and Doug was merely a repeat of a
previous suggestion about keeping the subject line consistent with the
content of one's message.    (03)

Regards.  =ppy    (04)
