There was no evidence of intent to do what the >poster was warned not to do. That's exactly what John points out! If you can't see that then you need a reading >comprehension course. Check your facts before resorting to insults. I suggest you try to comprehend John's post first! Reread mine and the previous posts. Neither John nor myself suggested the poster was intending to act illegally. The warning is for everyone. If anyone does use this forum for such activities they should be booted. >Also the quote you cite is moderation in itself while pretending not to be. If >no moderation is warranted (and I think it was not) then why the post by a >moderator? >Jim He wasn't moderating, but making a general warning!! If you still can't understand the moderators' reasoning, take it up with them. Andrew
