spoon-business: RFJ

[Adam Tomjack <adamtj@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I request judgement on each of the statements of the following paragraph:
	There is no player by the name of Ed.  There is there a player by the name 
of Benjamin Bradley.  There is there a player by the name of DW.  A forum not 
declared to be a public forum by the Administrator is not a public forum.  
Actions taken in a forum that is not a public forum are invalid.  
spoon-discuss@xxxxxxxxx is not a public forum.  

Analysis:  Only the spoon-business@xxxxxxxxx mailing list has been declared 
public by the Administrator.  Since no Agents called Ed, Benjamin Bradley, or 
DW expressed their desire to be players in a public forum, then there 
certainly are no players Ed, Benjamin Bradley, or DW.  By rule 112, "Actions 
may be taken only in public Fora, unless otherwise specified in the Rules."  
I believe that this means that actions are prohibited in non-public fora.  
Since actions in non-public fora are explicitly prohibited, they are not 
allowed.  Since spoon-discuss@xxxxxxxxx has not been declared a public forum 
by the Administrator, it is not a public forum.  Since spoon-discuss is not a 
public forum, no actions may be taken in that forum.  

Note:  Nothing personal guys, I just think it would be bad if we noticed 
several nweeks down the road that we had nonplayers voting and such.  This is 
more of a test of the validity of actions taken in the non-public fora and 
whether a forum which has been not been declared either public or private by 
the Administrator is a public forum.
