I would like to deal with Nathan via email only, as I'm sure every reader of this newsgroup would also like me to (with the exception of Nathan Mate), who has me in his kill file. So, replying to his ignorant, insane rants, demands, flames and slander concerning me - that he frequently posts to this newgroup (to pump up his own childish ego and enhance the festering hate he has for me) can only be done via a public post to his rants and slander, etc. about me! This will be one of my final posts to this newsgroup today - until I return from a very nice and very remote Island hop adventure with some friends that invited me along with them for free. I'll be back on the 30th, to review all the posts from this newsgroup then and will reply accordingly to those that require my reply. -| In article <5vt8cu$rtp$1@darla.visi.com>, nathan@visi.com (Nathan Mates) wrote: >In article <5vscav$21e$1@europa.frii.com>, >Randy Shackelford wrote: >[Mac-only crap deleted] > >Randy, keep Mac-only crud in email and OFF csa2.

I usually post my replies via email, not in the public area, but I feel I have to respond to this one. Get down off your high horse. You and Turley should be taking all your crap posts to email. They turn more people off to this group than Randy posting an occasional reference to the Mac. BTW, I use 5 different platforms and several more OS's. I find all have their purposes, pluses, and minuses. This newsgroup has never been moderated, nor do I wish to see it so. But, if it were, the first message I would send to the moderator would be to ban you and Turley forever. I'd like to know just what rights YOU have to limit Randy or anyone else's access to this or any umoderated newsgroup. Just what "BLATANT" measures will you be taking? If we all get a little out of line, in your opinion, will attempt to take the same measures with the rest of us as well? I hope you enjoy posting to an empty newsgroup, cause we are all going to get out of line every once in awhile. ---Geof Gonter--- Burlington, VT's "MacChamp" - http://www.sover.net/~gm7234/macintosh.html -------------------------------------------> Aloha, Tom
