Jerry appears to be engaged in turning M2 into a private little club to 
discuss issues that appeal to Jerry,s taste. I think that Hugh,s point of 
veiw is both correct and justified. The way this list was created was even 
more then that which Hugh has rather nicely put in his marx quotes. It was 
for me personally a cowardly and bureaucratic manuvrer by certain people on 
this list, to creep into some corner of cyberspace instead of having it out 
with politcal opponents. 

As i know the above is going to lead to a lot of flaming i will in the 
future not address this issue again. i.e. how this group was created..

However, i do intend to cross post issues which i think are important to 
discuss also. I certainly was not responsible for that there are now two 
marxist lists.
