- Wait a sec, folks. This is not *my* newsgroup. Yes, I conducted the
- vote, and yes, I created alt.out-of-body and its predecessor alt.oobe,
- but that doesn't make them my newsgroups. I am running a parallel
- mailing list, and I am trying to make suggestions that I hope will be
- helpful to some in conducting a methodical investigation of the OBE
- phenomenon, but I don't have any special rights or privileges. I'm
- just trying to keep things reasonably tidy, but if someone wants to
- disagree with my notions of order, that's OK (and it wouldn't be the
- first time ;-).

- > What do you fear, that you will not reveal your email address?
-
- Well, I'm willing to take Tarzan's statement that he doesn't know
- anything about email addresses at face value. It could even be that
- users of the system he's using doesn't permit email - but I don't see
- why that would be so. As I said in a previous article, I've made
- some inquiries of the site administrator at Bell Northern Research,
- where Tarzan's account resides, and hope we can get the matter
- resolved soon.

- What do others feel about the idea of making the newsgroup moderated?
- (No - I don't want to be the moderator - I'm too busy with other things.)
- I don't know if an alt group can be made moderated - especially once it
- has been created as unmoderated. I don't think we've seen a clear need
- demonstrated so far, though.
-
- > You are sentenced to be exposed before your peers.
-
- Well, I think perhaps the sentence is a bit harsh, don't you, Bishop?
- It's not clear that Tarzan is intentionally hiding anything. I'd just
- be happier if he could post articles without insisting on quoting the
- entire article he's responding to. But maybe he doesn't know how to
- use a text editor, or maybe he has a crufty news system that doesn't
- have access to an editor (doubtful). Let's not jump to conclusions.
