Well, I am glad to know it, but the trend persist.

I object to a post once every couple of months... on the average, not as a quota. <grin> Sometimes the moderators agree, sometimes they do not. I have a pretty good idea of which cases are borderline and which are not before I even email them. I believe their time is valuable, so I try not to waste it. While I cannot speak for all people who in good conscience use the "email moderator" facility provided for this purpose, I take your comments more personally than perhaps I should, so I'll be presumptuous and assume that your opinions are somewhat motivated by my past behavior. It seems to me that you've been beating this issue for far too long. If you wanted to exercise policy, you should have remained as a moderator instead of resigning. FYI, when a poster lodges a complaint, a moderator gets back to them with their decision, and an explanation. People who do use "email moderator" get feedback on why a decision to retain or remove a post has occured. That you do not receive such feedback is no indication that others feel that it's "open season", so to speak. Dave
