   It's okay Rory..  We are all going to see people differently and they are 
   going to either appeal to us or not appeal to us. There are so many 
   personalities here and I am not sure there is one single person that 
   everyone unanimously likes - except Alex!
   
  Ha! True enough, Ann. I just forgot for a bit what it was like here 
 
 
 
 Dear FFL and Mr. Archer;
 
 Om Okay so everyone likes Alex.  And, evidently nobody likes me on FFL 
 because nobody mentions that Buck does posts here where they would list all 
 the supposed fabulous writers here [or] they even would suggest that Buck 
 should become the new FFL moderator when Alex was just recently trying to beg 
 off on the job.  As he was saying that if the FFL list does reverts back to 
 the saner posting limits of 50 or lower per week following this unlimited 
 experiment in dilution that he'd [Alex] would still run the post-count but 
 not the managing of people [membership] here.  *Alex writes: [I'll happily 
 keep the post count script running
 and handle subscriptions and other helpful stuff as needed, but keeping track 
 of
 who overposts and killing/reinstating posting privileges needs to be done by
 someone else.] 


Well by me hell yes, being one of the only practicing mediators here, one of 
the eldest FFL members [formative], one of the few to actually have a valid 
Dome badge here, an Iowa bred, born and raised meditator, sensitive as I am to 
the enormous community nuance and great potential that a spiritual FFL could 
actually have in the world, as one who actually lives in Fairfield and uses a 
Fairfield, Iowa zip code, who in fact has spent a whole lot of face time in 
front of Maharishiji himself and also one who knows most all the major 
characters cast in the whole storyline,  Buck is the obvious choice for the job 
and nobody dared say it.  Buck is built for the job and nobody even dares 
suggest his name to run this place.  Everyone may likes Alex but get real 
cowards, vote Buck for FFL Enforcenator to bring order and respect back to FFL.
Sincerely,
-Buck in the Dome

If the general consensus is to do so, we'll do so after Alex has
had his month's reprieve.
   
   Perhaps, you missed it, Rick, but I made it clear in an earlier post that 
   if you restore the posting limits, you will need to appoint another 
   moderator to enforce it, i.e., keep track of overposters and shut 
   off/restore posting privileges. I will continue to host the post count 
   script on the crusty old Dell laptop, and I'll handle the usual 
   subscriptions, spammers, files, etc. But, if you don't appoint another 
   moderator, I will simply ignore any overposting.
   
   As for who to appoint, IMO, the heavy users of the group should be the 
   ones to handle enforcement of the posting limits.
  
  
  Om please do notice that, Buck in fact is a heavy user of the group and 
  hence well qualified as such to moderate this place.
  -Buck for Enforcenator

You can delete your duplicate posts yeah? For some reason I didn't get any
duplicate posts of yours but it's been a big mess with Yahoo for the past
week - delayed posts, duplicate posts and some that I have never received.

 Sheesh. Yahoo just duplicated five of my posts in a row.

  Good point. As I understand it, FFL was never intended
  to be limited to currently practicing TMers in any case.
  I'm pretty sure Buck knows this. When I first joined in
  2005, there were more former-TMers-turned-TM-critics
  than TM defenders.

I prefer to read it on Gmail but like I said it's been horrible and so I'm
being forced to go to FFL page for the past few days - we have had this in
the past, but not for this long. Yes I have never seen posts being
duplicated like yours, but I only got single copies of it on Gmail - too
weird, no consistent markers for these Yahoo issues.

 Are you using the Web site or getting the posts via email?
 As I recall, last time we started getting duplicates, it
 was only on the Web site.

 I guess I should delete the duplicates...

  but it's been a big mess with Yahoo for the past
  week - delayed posts, duplicate posts and some that I have
  never received.

 Far as I know, except for a few duplicates here and there
 (nothing like five in a row for anybody else!), the Web
 site hasn't had any other problems. I haven't seen any
 posts quoted that I haven't received, at any rate, and I
 think all my posts have appeared immediately.
