- Well, I guess he could have. But I think he was worried about the legal
- liability that he could incur.
- But he could do just what he did - kick all the stuff off, and don't
- have to worry about it again.
- I can't fault him. The system is his responcibilty - if he thought that
- was necessary, then I can't (in fairness) critize that much.
- He has said he's trying to get funding to have a stident moderate the
- group - but doesn't think that there will be much chance of that.

- We are? (Notice, I'm at HUBCAP) Yeah, well, I guess one might see it
- that way. Personally, I'd like to find the idiots who did this in the
- first place. And lose my temper and resort to physical violence.
