Oh, you'll feel the sting of a trout soon enough ;-). The reasoning goes like this .. the thread is being killed because it has become too heated / too rambling / circular. Even if some nodes may still have some mileage left in them, such topics can be restarted under new threads. Invariably, if the participants were to stop and think for a moment and review the thread, they will come to the same conclusion as the axe wielding moderator .. that further discussion on-list is of no real benefit to the general readership; only to the thread's main protagonists. - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator TB! v1.62/Beta4 on Windows 2000 5.0.2195 Service Pack 2 ' -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.1.91-nr1 (Windows 2000) iD8DBQE9diDaOeQkq5KdzaARAooTAKCUWC8HLF0YvbyEHqAl47CZwKLSmQCg1Xfg viGtxRS9kjLAwQb1LAlgkJY= =wzfv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
