Is that the list you had to apply to be a member of? I vaguely recalldoing that back some years ago, and never hearing anything back, foundwhatever the precursor of this list was.

Yeah, I was offered reinstatement if I apologized, and I pretty much told them to stick

wanted to protect them if they were considered "golden" (my quotes.)

A bad deal all around, unfortunately.

There are others who probably remember things in more detail, but

Richarde's lists predate the Ritter list, IIRC.

More specifically, the "Banned" list was a direct result of people getting

unsubbed from the Ritter list for minor infractions, such as comparing
Detroit iron to MBs.

I myself got banned because I directly challenged the comments of a highly

revered list member, George Murphy. Despite Stu challenging George's
sometimes flawed and/or incorrect advice himself in private, when I did it
in forum I got pilloried.

Ritter had Richard Easley, the "List Mom", pull my subscription. I have

never looked back.

There is a very dark side to the Ritter list, which is how things are kept

in check. Step over the line for a minor infraction and you're gone In a
heartbeat, no question.

Ironically, I have something on the order of 6-7 alias accounts there, but

I rarely ever look at them. Once in a while I will troll to see what's up,
but quite honestly, it's the same subject matter, OT or otherwise, month
after month.

Wasn't there somewhere in the past some sort connection between Richard
Sexton and the Ritter list?
The Ritter list was very strict and lots of things are "verboten"

I've been off and on the list since the server was in Canada. It seems

to

have evolved from a strictly Mercedes repair and discussion list into a
DIY list where you can get info about nearly anything from well informed
members. The OT submissions seems to be the glue that holds the list
together when it isn't discussing various Mercedes subjects.
My two cents,

If you recall, the what's his names list was categorized as to diesels,
gassers, 116's, 123's, 124' ansd so on -- and "general" -- and

"banned",

i.e. temporarily kicked off.
I understand Marshall was on banned for a while.
