Elliott, I have more than once requested two pieces of information from you to help with these concerns... so far I have not seen a reply. (1) The moderators are bound by the RFD. What is specifically wrong about the RFD? How could it be improved? (2) Since you feel I am one of the moderators who will be promoting interests you are opposed to, I have offered to help find a way to resign and be replaced by you. Are you willing? You will then have as much "power" (ha!) as you feel I would as moderator. Are you willing? -- Patrick Logan (H) mailto:plogan@teleport.com (W) mailto:patrickl@gemstone.com http://www.gemstone.com "I am not a Church numeral; I am a free variable!"
