I had intended not to contribute to this thread, but following Roger's
comments; (1) 13 is a far sight short of a quorum - if you're really
insistent on tallying votes, I'm against commercial advertisements, too -
and maybe you wouldn't object to receiving private e-mail votes from all
the other subscribers who have not chosen to post publicly? (2) an anti-ads
clause is already in the charter for a REASON (3) we don't need to
establish any new lists, as there ARE already other places to advertise.

This could be dealt with fairly effectively by changing the default
"Welcome to Leps-L" message so that it includes a copy of the charter, and
adding a postscript about where one can post ads for livestock. Simple
enough. Is the listowner reading this? (That would facilitate things,
too...)
