DO NOT REPLY TO ADMIN MESSAGES VIA PCSOFT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
OKAY... enough is ENOUGH!!!
I will not have anyone abusing these mailing lists as become the rule
for the last few days on both mailing lists. This message is OFF TOPIC.
The critism was posted by a MODERATOR... and the Moderator has that
authority.
I think it is time for some changes in the way these mailing lists are run... this
experiement of the last 30 days is just not working. Some changes will be
occuring to cure these problems in the next few days...
