You may recall that David's title is something like "List Owner, Moderator, and Despot" - so he's pretty clear about what his position is. By "fully moderating" jt, what David and Don are doing is donating their time to filter out the many inane messages that jt posts, and only allowing the pertinent ones to actually be posted to the list. Yes jt has provided valuable contributions, but his constant babble has (for me, and apparantly many others) far outweighed the value of his contributions. Personally, I welcome the change - I had taken to just deleting all of jt's message once a week (usually 100+, but never less than 50), hoping that if he did type something worth noting that someone else would quote it in another thread. I'm sure I've missed some things of value but it was better than the alternative. Thanks in advance to Don and David for taking the time to separate the wheat from the chaff, and improve the quality of the list. jte > We've all posted useless posts in the past, many time driven by our human > desire to say "thanks."
