I have received several messages concerning my function here and I will try to answer in 25000 words or less, in particular order
(1) I am NOT a moderator on this or the CHAT list. A moderator intercepts all message and then passes them along, or not When you hit the send button, I see the message just like everyone else. If it is a topic that really should be on our CHAT reflector, I will forward it there and let everyone know that discussion should moce, but I do not delete messages, I do not censor messages, I do not modify them The NEWS reflector was set up because a great many people dod not want dozens of messages filling their inboxes when they had not interest in discussion, only in "news"worthy items CHAT was set up several years ago to address the nbeed that some subscribers wanted to contune discussions on topics and news itemsa they read I do not hold sway over who is allowed to subscribe or not. Unfortunately, the subscribe/unsubcribe mechanism has been broken and I manually have to do this. Once it is fixed, I will not have to I do not put people on a rejection list. 99 44/100's of the article rejection notices are due to the fact that the poster is using an address other than the one they subscribed with if I am subscribed [EMAIL PROTECTED], I can not post from [EMAIL PROTECTED] If for some reason you get a rejection, let me know and I can look at the subscriber database..it's usally for the reason mentioned There is only 1 way to be permanently banned...profanity plain and simple The reflector is run by the NJDXA and it was decided that was the 1 and only way to be deleted and banned. It has happened 2 times and only 2 times Posting to the wrong reflector gets people upset and gives me ulcers but that is not grounds for banning. If you do it enough, I might move you to the "time out" section. You receive posts, you just can't make them. That has happened 2 times since 1998 Other than that I read everything (and I mean everything) just like y'all do Hope this answers some questions as to how I earn the REALLY BIG bucks here sorry for being so wordy carry on Steve PS Look for the 3 Steve's (in speedos) to be /KP2 May 19-21 ---------------------------------------------------------- Archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] THE DXR is sponsored by the North Jersey DX Association.
