It is really quite simple. When you join a group, you adapt to *its* norms and conventions. If you don't like, then you are free to leave. Now, asking (politely) for an explanation is usually not a problem. However, starting off with "this is broken, it needs to change" is not usually welcomed unless you happen to carry a great deal of influence in the group. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.
