I'm sure you realize this, but if you have a problem with CCC and some of >the moderators are out of the loop, you need to get them in the loop. As you may recall, this doesn't work. When Dave cut my thread short that was asking about Linux distributions, I tried to continue the discusion of the moderator issue in moderator email, but you jumped all over my case for that. And you accused me of accusing Dave: "...you should not accuse Dave of sending you offensive e-mail" which I never did. I was only trying to see the issue get proper attention. The main issue as KarinsDad points out, is that these things are not as off topic as Dave is making them out to be. And I'm not really trying to point a finger at Dave here. It's just that these claims that posts are too far off topic to be here at CCC are rediculous. > >>2) Why stop a thread and say that you will delete further messages to it, but at >>the same time indicate that it's permissible to start another thread?

Don't anybody try to discuss anything around here. Forget that idea. Pete
