It's not - the place is on RGP and in news.groups.  I posted here
asking for moderators because I know that this list (and several
others) is where people have gone to hide from the nonsense and spam
on the RGP list.


--->That's fine.  I chose to respond on this list because you posted
here.  I am entitled to my opinion on the new moderated group also.  I
really don't want this to pass.   I don't really feel strongly enough to
campaign against this, but since Peter posted his call for moderators
here I think my follow-up response was appropriate.

You don't participate on RGP now Bill.  Neither do many other valued
posters - there's too much crap and flaming.

--->  Really?  That's nice to know.   Even discounting all the crap
about politics I've posted, I count like posts in 8 different threads in
March, and 8 in February.   I am sorry I can only post on a different
thread every three days.

Gee thanks Bill.

Glad to know that you will vote on the issue without reading a
scintilla of the discussion that is available on RGP and news.groups.

---> I read Rich M's posts initially.  I have no confidence that he
knows what's best for the group.  I am also a long time poster on RGP
and I think many of my posts have been informative.  I feel that I have
been a contributor to the group for many years and some people would say
that I have done my small part in nuturing and bulding the group.  Now,
nobody will argue with the fact that you have been a major contributor
to the group, but I really do resent the implication that my decision
about whether to support RGPM or not is uninformed.  

I don't wish to continue the discussion in this forum.  I would
suggest to any who are interested that they tune in to RGP and
subscribe for a time to news.groups.  That is the appropriate place
for discussion.

--->  Okay fine.  You felt your call for volunteers was appropriate for
the list, but my continuation of discussion wasn't?  Well, I'm just glad
ba-poker isn't moderated either.   Am I out in left field again here,
does everyone else here really think that RPGM is a great idea?  If so,
I will swallow my dissent since it seems the group will be created
anyway.
