I would advocate not to delete this line -- it targets "what I was looking
for" --
Reflecting back on the variety of responses to trying to consensus a name
for this list, there were many comments that touched upon the differing
interpretations and assumptions, often unacknowledged, that exist in
hierarchies and within groups striving to abolish hierarchies and their
resultant powerplays.

[aside:  the recent media frenzies with the presidential candidates showcase
the potential polarizations well; one litte word, one attendance at an event
someone else deems inappropriate/misrepresentative, etc.]

At the moment, I do not have a better suggestion to replace 'hidden rules'
-- perhaps someone else will?  However, I do believe both parts of the
sentence (as I interpret them) are crucial to the attempted definition of
our group.

Thanks for 'listening,'

The 2 who emailed me wanted to know what is meant by "hidden rules"
