Dan,

I can appreciate why you froze the account and would concur. However,
I'm
curious as to what your attitude would be if the post wasn't anonymous?

Well, the system isn't very secure (as was just demonstrated quite well
:^) -
it's not designed well to exclude folk unless I make drastic alterations
to the settings for PHYS-L, which I haven't YET done.

I do consider anonymous public complaints, unverifiable and possibly
made by disgruntled ex-employees who are not regular list members to be
questionable and distasteful at best. PHYS-L is not intended to be a
forum
for anonymously smearing institutions, nor a replacement for a genuine
redress of employment grievances. I welcome discussion of these ISSUES,
but not the specific smearing of any institution. In any case, my
actions
and reactions are shaped by the thoughts of PHYS-L community members,
the utility of the Listserv Sw and possible legal threats to PHYS-L
sponsors.

If the poster of the original message would like to professionally
discuss
these issues as a legitimate, named contributing member of PHYS-L that
would address most of my concerns. I'd also prefer the tone remained
professional and substantial.
