[time-nuts] OT loosing things

[Chuck Harris]

Mike S,

How is your attempt at controlling the content of this group any
different from Mike F's asking you to be tolerant?

Any post where you wield to the F word (cloaked or otherwise) against
one of your fellow netizines, is not polite.

As to moderation: John Ackerman owns this group, guides it with a very
gentle hand, hosts, and administers the server the group lives on, pays
the power and phone bill....  In every sense of the word it is his baby.
He has made it clear that he too would prefer the group stay on topic,
but ever the gentleman that he is, he recognizes that the content of
this group is a gift from those that create it... and a polite person
accepts a gift in both the spirit, and the manner it which it is given.

I will present you with the same request Mike F did, only more bluntly:
Please be tolerant.  If you don't like a thread, please spare us the
rebuke, just ignore it.

Although it is difficult, I will attempt to live by my own advice.

-Chuck Harris
