All this verbage and not once an "Imperial"
I think the scolding rant should follow the RULES also.
I make not Judgement as to ones or another's merit
but come on, do as you request others "TAKE IT PRIVATE"

You know gang, it is VERY easy to take a position when
you only know half the story.
I don't know how many of you are "managers" but those
who are will remember the big "AH HA" when the first
found out about all the stuff that had been happening
behind the scenes. Makes you feel a little dumb for
thinking what you had been thinking once you found out
the whole story.
For the rest of you, you might compare it to becoming
a parent. For those of you who don't have a clue what
I'm talking about I'm sorry that I cannot be more
eloquent.
However, the fact is that there was "STUFF" going on
behind the scenes as there always is. It is not
appropriate to share "STUFF" with the list as a whole.
If you want to get involved and change things, join
the admin list. If you want to talk about anything,
join another list (too, you don't have to leave us).
If you want to ask Dick Benjamin about the fuel
injection on your Yugo, take it private. (That's the
thing you do instead of hitting reply and typing,
Yeah, me too.)
You want to see members leave, just let the fragile
discipline go away. Yep, we sometimes are
inconsistent. Believe it or not, we have lives and
sometimes are not present to 'nip things in the bud'.
When that happens you may NEVER know what is done in
the background. Many of us (including me) have been
'coached'. Most of us take it in the manner it was
intended and just move on. Some don't and MOVE ON.
Some don't and get banned.
This is not a dictatorship, the volunteers on the
admin list take their responsibility seriously and
many spend HOURS each day to support this thing that
way too many people take for granted. If you don't
like the way things run, get involved! If the admin
list approves you, you can have my job.
I will be glad to have a private discussion about this
subject with anyone concerned.
