Peter, I'll try to explain this again, since I haven't been able to make it clear before: 1. Rahul called for resumes. He got only one (mine) and therefore told me I won. 2. I began preparing to handle the group on sixhub, ordering new disk and getting an alias on a well connected machine. 3. Rahul sent me part of the stuff used to make the postings. He sent me none of the backlog because I wasn't ready. 4. Keith Petersen asked Gene to appoint a new moderator. 5. I asked for clarification from Gene to determine of Rahul had contacted him officially. 6. You have gone ahead and appointed someone else as moderator, based on authority I didn't know you had. Now that that's clear... I will leave the new disk in the box until this is clarified, and will not be accepting any contributions until that time. If anyone other than Rahul who took the resumes and Gene who publishes the list has authority to appoint a new moderator, please state it so we can stop wasting time on this. -- bill davidsen (davidsen@crdos1.crd.GE.COM -or- uunet!crdgw1!crdos1!davidsen) "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
