Hi Bill, @30-Sep-2003, 20:48 -0400 (01-Oct 01:48 UK time) Bill Blinn Technology Editor [BB] in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] said to St:

This posting benefits greatly from nail-on-the-head syndrome. That is *precisely* why all rule-break moderation is done on-list. There is another reason though. When the moderators don't step in visibly, 100+ irate member sure 'nuff will. What would you prefer? One post from a moderator or a free for all of admonishments from any offended party? I actually resigned from a list for the moderator refusing to perform on-list moderation. It makes no sense at any level. The third explanation is that we're just a bunch power hungry megalomaniacs who love to see our admonishments hurled around the planet in the form of irate electrons. But, hey, aren't we all? At heart? I mean, c'mon fellas (and fella-ettes)! -- Cheers -- .\\arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator TB! v2.00.22 on Windows XP 5.1.2600 Service Pack 1
