I don't need any clarifications, and I'm not interested in attempting to educate you any further. You want to find someone to fix the problem. The fact that it's been going on since the beginning means nothing to you. The fact that the "moderators" have no control over it means nothing to you. The fact that that isn't what the moderators do, or part of their responsibilities, means nothing to you. You continue to insist that Paul should somehow step up and make things better. I was just trying to help you understand that it doesn't work that way. Since that's impossible, I don't see much sense in wasting any more time with it. I prefer to spend my time doing things that are productive. If beating a dead horse makes you happy, by all means, carry on. And, just FYI, telling you what I found by searching for "CollabNet" had nothing to do with what Paul told you to search for, and wasn't intended as an insult to you. I was simply sharing how I found it since, as I previously explained, that word pretty much always comes up in the relevant threads you were trying to find. No hiding the ball, no secret handshake, and no reading between the lines required. If you haven't done it already, my final suggestion would be for you to get involved. Become a moderator yourself and use your newly acquired powers to fix the system. Work in the QA project and take a peek at some of the issues, not just unsubscribed users on the mailing list, that have been languishing for years with no resolution. Work in the documentation project. Work on the website project. I think it would be an eye-opening experience for you as to "How Things Are Done Around Here." --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
