    Sorry honey, I'm not biased. Just becuase I voted against sci.aquaria's
    creation does not make me biased and a very bad risk to hold a vote.
    Just because I didn't agree with Richard's distribution reasoning does
    not make me biased and a bad risk to hold a vote. Just because you happen
    to think we don't carry and distribute sci.aquaria and alt.rissa at my
    site is not a reason for adding me to the list of people who can't be
    trusted to hold a vote fair and square. Like for example, whats makes
    you think I think you're biased. I never thought for one instant you
    were nor did I ever say that. And although there was a time that we
    didn't carry sci.aquaria, that time passed long ago. But at no time
    did my software stop distributing it. Heck, if a place that we feed
    wants alt.* and sci.* and *.*, then by god they may have whatever we
    get whether we want it or not. We never hold up the distribution of
    any group. So Trish, why did you add me to the list. Just because I'm
    a rec.aquaria champion? And I'm not to high on sci.aquaria. Not a very
    good reason at all Trish. Suppose we never had any aquaria group at all
    and I came along to create one, would you then say that I'm biased and
    therefore shouldn't be allowed to hold the vote because I'm the "group
    in question" champion and I'm biased.

    If I'm misinterpreting your meaning then perhaps a more indepth
    explaination or your part is in order. Please post it to the net
    however and not via e-mail. Since you sought to insult me publicly
    you might as well continue your assault publicly. I'm not hurt.
    After the last thing that happened in my life which hurt me very
    much (personal stuff), nothing as trivial as a bonafide flame fest
    between you and I can hurt me that much. After a while on the net
    you become numb to it all.

    So go ahead Trish, flame away. Isn't that what you want anyway?
    As always seems to be the case between you and everyone else.
