BK>EC>> (1) the action was unnecessary,
 
BK>RN> Also right.
 
BK> If it was right, why did you become moderator and Cindy Co-mod?
 
You already know the answer to that, so playing dumb to gather supporters
here who don't know what happened there is rather futile.
 
BK> And why didn't you just let Lee have the moderator position?
 
I didn't take it away from him.  Ask him what happened.  Pretend you don't
already know.  While you're thinking about an answer to that, remember I
have emails from Lee and the COFFEE_KLATSCH archive to backup what I say.
 
BK>EC>> (2) Klahn was at fault for starting his paranoid rant and creating
BK>EC>> controversy where there was none, and
 
BK>RN> It was at this point that Cindy suggested I claim the

It does no such thing.  What Earl wrote is accurate.  Is the light blinding you?

That's a laugh!  I'm referring to personalities and you once again have hit
the nail squarely on your thumb.

Again, it does no such thing.
 
BK>RN> (the posters) were perfectly happy to let things go on as

BK>RN> that situation stabilized, we began a search for Bobby

Thanks to you guiding the way into the echo for them.  I'm usually amazed
at the amount of lemmings in this world, in addition to the insidiousness
of the person they will follow.
