It's funny, you know, FFL and alt.m.t are the only
two electronic forums I've ever been on where attempts
have been made not only to discourage frequent
posters from posting but to suggest that those who
post frequently do so because they want to "dominate"
the forum.
And even more interesting, in both cases the person
making these attempts has been somebody who would
prefer to suppress the point of view ("censor," you
might even say) of the frequent posters.

I'm your worst nightmare, aren't I, Barry?
Actually, I've been planning it for years. And
once I've succeeded in taking over FFL, I'll move
on to the next forum you participate in, and the
next, and the next... And eventually I'll expand
to take over all Yahoo! Groups, and then all Usenet
newsgroups via Google Groups. Ultimately, I'll
run the entire Internet.
Now go take your medication.
