- Ok, well I just did my own _real_ research, and I'm talking from a much more
- informed viewpoint. First of all, I haven't see much from you execpt these
- few complaints you have about those that don't favor moderation...matter of
- fact, you haven't posted to this group at all since this issue become a part
- of it.
-
- Tell me something...did you see a post that explained how the IBM moderated
- group is _dead_? Do you not think this a valid reason for _not_ having
- moderation here for cba2? Sure, I can believe Jawaid will do a good a job
- as he _can_ and I also understand all the rationale...but it still doesn't
- give me an assurance I need for this issue.
-
- You guys are all pumped up for this moderation thing...but it's like with a kid
- who get really excited about something, gets involved to the maximum with it,
- and then later it just fizzles out. I remember back when I wanted to get into
- tennis, I got my father to get me a racket, spend tons of money on the lessons,
- and then I just gave it up...there is a danger of this happening...
-
- So, tell me Tero, why is this not a compelling reason, and why didn't you
- mention it? You seemed to have missed one very important point, and now I
- can only come to the conclusion that you really don't know what you're talking
- about.
