 bk>>>  It isn't now. I am just pre-planning.

 CH>> Which can be viewed as a challenge and cause the very thing
 CH>> you thought it might prevent. I have seen this happen.
 CH>> Sometimes it is best to leave well enough alone.

 bk>  There is no challenge. There is no magic here. They don't know

 bk>  We will not attract them by talking about them or by talking

 bk>  If they know I am here, or you are here, or Wayne or Bjorn is
 bk>  here they will come. Not because we attract them, but because
 bk>  they are bad people.

 bk>  Once they come it is *TOO LATE* to appoint a moderator. Unless
 bk>  the moderator is e-listed he won't be recognized. It is likely
 bk>  to take a month or more to get one in.

 bk>>>  I don't believe your posting that will draw the nasties, I
 bk>>>  believe they will come if they discover the place.

 CH>> I am going to say this one lAST time. If you don't get it
 CH>> then I can't help you anymore. I know a couple of FIDO
 CH>> moderators who agree with me on this.

 CH>> YOU sir, by your words above: are BAITING them to come here.

 bk>  Cincy, THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT WE ARE SAYING HERE.

One or more of them might.  I've discovered that some folks lurk in
