It is true that I thought the situation where twelve million people demonstrated against war, and yet the anarchy list was conspicuously avoiding mentioning the war, was an unhealthy situation, and I expressed this opinion. Apparently other folk agreed, as we have since then had discussion about opposing the war. But that isn't "moderating" the list. That is simply getting others to discuss something you think should be discussed. That can happen even with a completely un-moderated list. > if he went to yahogroups.com he could set up his > own list and see how many of the international crowd > follows him.

Yes, that's it: > "TheDaveCoullList-AT-yahoogroups.com" There he can insult, > lecture and respond to his own posts and no one will care. > Hell, I'll be his first subscriber. Now be serious, Carp. Why on earth would I want to do that? I am already on seven different lists. As well as a couple of anarchist lists, there is the Scottish Politics list, Alba, Scots Debate, and so on. At any time, there is usually somebody disagreeing with something I said on one of these lists. The posts which I respond to are other people's, not my own. That's just a myth created by you, for your own party politician's purposes. > So I tend to be short-tempered This can be bad for the blood pressure of folks of advancing years like you and me, Carp. Take some deep, slow, breaths. Try chanting " OM " . Be in harmony with Nature and the Universe, my brother. > Of course there are those on this list whose sole goal > is to prove *everyone* in error. No, you're _wrong_ there, Carp :-) You mean me again, and you are quite simply wrong. Not EVERYONE . I do not seek to prove Iain to be in error. I do not seek to prove Andy to be in error. Come to think of it, I do not seek to prove Keri to be in error. And what about Ali? When have I ever sought to prove Ali to be in error? So in practice your exaggeration "everyone" is reduced to "most (but not all, there being _at least four_ exceptions) of those who post to the anarchy list". Dave Coull
