Pat and I have settled this offline, so I would appreciate it if the
conversation on this topic ended.  He has a right to run his conference
as he chooses.  I would not choose to run my conference like that, and
I will probably be using his conference less as a result of our respec-
tive different points of view.

I think it is just as fair for a participant to point out apparent bias
in a newsgroup, and seek a constructive response from other netliners,
as it is for a moderator to exercise his right to free speech.  Now that
all the points have been covered, maybe it's time to press on with more
substantive issues.  Thanks for posting your feelings.
