Who knows? A while back I posted a single brief note regarding my perception of privacy and security issues with Gmail, after a flurry of 'I have Gmail invites, if anyone wants one' posts. Others responed to my single post, but I did not add any further posts to this (or any other topic). I got a stern message that was called my 'third' warning, and that any further off-topic posts would get my posting privileges revoked. I was puzzled by this, since I basically lurk on the list, and have made very few postings. I replied to Susan privately that, among other things, I had no record nor recollection of any previous warnings, and asked politely for information regarding these, since I seemed to have used up my warning limit. To this day I have received no replies to that query message whatsoever. >From this incident I can only conclude that all posts are equal, but some are more equal than others. > > I ask this because I, like many others, value this > list's information greatly and don't want to see those > that I've learned so much from over the years have to > go elsewhere. > > Thank You. > > > > __________________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > Meet the all-new My Yahoo! - Try it today! > http://my.yahoo.com > -- -=[L]=-
