Of course, NOW it is obvious that the post should have been deleted immediately. Hindsight is always 20-20. When you consider that Ritter Rost might have been a name that Ossi uses, or that Ritter Rost may have had explicit permission from Ossi to post the e-mail, well, that complicates the situation, doesn't it? Personally, I like to give people the benefit of the doubt instead of immediately deleting everything that looks slightly suspicious to me. By the time I found out that the post was actually illegal, it had "naturally expired" so there really wasn't anything I could do about it. Because you are not on the CCC moderator mailing list, you have no idea what was going on "behind the scenes" so you aren't in a very good position to accuse us of being asleep at the switch. Personally, I think your comment is stupid and I resent it. Here's a question: if you know exactly what the moderators are supposed to do, why don't we ever hear from you? By now you should have realized that we are not paid, full-time employees of CCC who spend all day examining posts. -Tom
