So, let me get this straight, Mark Senk is NOT an owner of this list?  The
scolding which he sent me a few weeks ago lead me to believe that he was a
list owner.  If he is not a list owner, then what he is doing is
completely improper and I wish I had kept the scolding to repost it to the
list.  His scolding did make me much more circumspect about what messages
I post and whether to even post them.  In fact, it has made me very
hesitant to post to the list since it is not my desire to be removed from
the list.

Mark, if you send me another scolding which makes you appear to be a list
owner, and you are actually not, I will forward the message to the list.
