- For the record - I did. csn.announce is carried across many
- different networks, each with their own idea of what is appropriate
- use of tax payer's money. The administrators for each of these
- networks has defined policies concerning what is correct and what
- is not. Traffic that they believe is wrong is not carried.
-
- In the beginning I asked about these policies and got copies
- and formulated an acceptable compromise. Feel free to vote,
- but the current moderator has the last say as to what happens
- on csn.announce, and the network admins that carry csn.announce
- have the final say about if it goes through their wires or
- not.
-
- I would strongly urge that you do not deluge the moderator of
- csn.announce with "we must have a vote...." He has a very
- difficult job to do with a bunch of very vocal people with
- little clue as to what is going on.
