I know of several that tried and the post never made it. Two did, but
the rest went bye bye. The unnamed, "no-callsign either" moderator,
who was on me about showing a callsign, has his eye on every post that
comes into Amps mainly to protect one person for any, well lets say,
embarrasing moments.

When a groups moderator censors others posts who contradict one that
is plainly wrong, allowing the wrong comment to show, and not the
correct one, it's not a place to be. Correct being that the one
posting it actually knows what they are talking about! : ) It's even
worse when the moderator lets the one in question take pot shots at
others, and when they reply, the post gets canned before the others
can see it.

Now, I admit, I was one of the ones that was guilty of e-mailing
everyone in my address book and bypassing the moderator. The moderator
aimed that one admonishment about harvesting e-mails at two people,
Rich and myself. However, this moderator must think that neither of us
has an address book on our own without his so-called "harvesting"
going on. I thought I still have the right, by the 1st amendment, to
e-mail anyone I damn well wish. I'm not aware that has EVER been
changed.

Sincerely,

Will
