Ooooook... All I wanted to say that you (I mean the moderators) jump on every small stuff and send a mega-length mail explaining what was wrong :)) KV>> We have a term for this case: "He's talking about water but drinks KV>> wine..." RO> My country was a bit more biblical oriented and we say: He sses the RO> splinter in the eye of his neighbour but not the balk in his own eye. Yes, we have the same, too. It sometimes happens with me, also. So dont take it as an offense, I used to fall into the same trap... We are humans. KV>> No offense, really, but you jump on every small error... RO> Actually, I don't. Follow this thread back and you'll see that Jack's RO> previous message has the same failing as the one I moderated, but that RO> one got no reaction from any moderator.

KV>> A moderator should work in the background, not in the spotlight, I KV>> think. RO> With such an opinion, you should start a discussion off list. RO> Besides you could have read my message completely, because that says: RO>>> To find out why these MOD messages are posted to the list instead of RO>>> private mail, please read the welcome message you received when you RO>>> subscribed.

But in short: RO> When we moderate off list, nobody sees it, so nobody is remembered to RO> the fact that it's against the rules, that's likely to cause more RO> offenses than less. Thus causing unhappiness to those who prefer the RO> rules etc. Ok, ok. RO> When you've lost your welcoming message and like to receive a copy, RO> I'll be more than happy to send it. :)) You are sarcastic. You know that I have but I just briefly read it :) Ok, thread closed.
