Yeah, prince harry has one he no longer needs.

I worded the sentence poorly. I was referring to the age of the group not the maturity of it's members. Most 'mature' groups have seen so many trolls over the years they mostly go completely ignored but not here at the wreck.:)

When do we get to sponsor a NASCAR Chevy??

On slow days there is nothing to do but take a whack at a troll. The alternative is discussing norm .

The last moderation troll took a lot of beating with a verybig stick before they went away. Best to start early.

And who's to say it's really a troll, vs. a control-freak ?

[Tom O'Connor]

Well, judging from the response, I guess it's decided!!

[Delusional Celtic]

Yes.

[Mike G]

No, No, No. That is the old standard.

The new one is "If it ain't broke out source it till it is and impossible to repair"

Hi Andy,

Do a google search on both e-mail addresses. Interesting reading, especially those messages sent to ISPs (usually multiple).

Regards,

Funny - I see that very comment made about most usenet groups. It seems every other group handles things better than the one the poster is posting about.

Given that my comments were neither abusive nor combative in nature, but were purely legitimate questions and comments backed up by facts directly related to the discussion *you* chose to start, you have identified yourself as being of way too thin skin to be allowed anywhere near a moderator's position in which personal affronts should in no way affect the selection or deletion of postings. Frankly, whether you pay attention to what I, or anyone else for that matter, say during the RFD process is on little consequence -- it is what those voting think of the ideas expressed during that discussion period that matter. This is true of course, unless you are implying in your comment about having a very good idea that this vote will pass that you have identified a means of assuring that the votes will be there for your proposal.

How 'bout just a little difference? Brown shirt with Hammer & Sickle? Same oppression, different flavor.

[CW]

Won't happen.

From what I've seen there's quite a few. I just don't know if I'd trust 'em as moderators. :-)

And it is tool related and thus, on topic.
