Instead : all I hear is a lot of whining. This only confirms my initial suspicion : that the moderators have become personalities, AND THEY LIKE IT THAT WAY. And I do lots of things, but I don't insult people I'm trying to get to do something I want. *You* could be quite a bit more effective at this if you were to knock off the noise. Name calling and other nastiness is only appropriate when dealing with someone you do not respect. Since you are making your lack of respect so public, you shouldn't be surprised when those you have contemned don't do what you want. --- Bill {uunet|novavax}!proxftl!twwells!bill
