Right, but you're not a moderator now. So that's not really a reason not to make
a complaint.

>day now, that takes a lot of time;  (c) by the time _I_ read the post, you had

So you "handle" 100 e-mails per day. What does this matter? Does that somehow
make writing a short e-mail really hard?

So I read and responded to it. But you say you knew I was making a mistake.
What's to keep you from e-mailing the moderators and saying, "hey, you're making
a mistake." The mistake could easily have been corrected with your input, but
you obviously elected to complain about bad decisions instead.

I have mine. Please drop it instead of repeating yourself. I can read just fine.
