For new subscribers puzzled by this, let me clarify.
This is from the subscription page of www.marxmail.org:
>>MODERATION PRINCIPLES: The Marxism mailing list is extremely
permissive. There are a couple of things that are frowned upon
strongly. If you come to the list with the attitude that you are a
true Bolshevik, who needs to convert 'Mensheviks' to your beliefs,
you will be unsubbed. Members of self-declared vanguard parties who
can adjust to the tolerant atmosphere of the list are more than
welcome, since they usually bring with them years of Marxist study
and political experience. We also welcome non-Marxists who come to
the list in a respectful attitude, desiring to learn more. However,
if you have decided for yourself that Marxism is wrong and that your
purpose on the list is to struggle to convince others of that, you
should not subscribe. The Internet has many forums where Marxists and
anti-Marxists can debate. This is not one of them.<<
Yossi has violated these instructions numerous times and I have
overlooked it. But he should follow Fred's advice and not make a
habit out of Menshevik hunting.
