That's a matter of opinion. I don't agree with your methods of moderating,
but then again, that's just my opinion. 

 MG> Yeah, well people who get Moderated often do bitch about it... 

I really don't remember moderating you in any of my echos. I don't remember
you bitching either. The echos I /do/ moderate I moderate in a hands off
fashion. You are, IMO, far too hands on. But that's my opinion, I also just
lurk in /your/ echo, I'm afraid to open my mouth for fear you will strike
me with a lightening bolt or worse. :) Mind you, I'm well aware of echos
and moderating, I've been around Fidonet a long time. The above is just my
opinion
and not being personal, although I can't determine exactly how you may take
it.  :) Either way, hopefully we understand each other.

Have a nice day!
