Hello Hamish,

A statement made preposterous by it's obvious stupidity.

Spot on Hamish.

Like hell it is.



 HM> Self-appointed at best.



I for one will NOT comply with any request for someone's feed to be cut for
simply bringing a ripoff to our attention. This of course refers only
polite and sensibly presented messages, and not to deliberate ad hominem.



*** I encourage ALL participants to do likewise. ***



Be it also noted that I will most determinedly lobby each of my very few
uplinks to support my stance should the need arise.



The new moderator appears to have lost the plot, and I suggest a serious
rethink of this ridiculous "rule".



The ability of participants to politely point out excessive prices is an
integral part of this echo's success, and a major part of it's value to all
those participants.



Regards,

Kevin.
