Peter, how does one obtain the exact same rights that you have to
[log in to unmask]  You know that this is exactly what I was
requesting, but you keep trying to dodge the issue.  I don't what to be the
owner.  I do want all the other rights and passwords.

You are trying to use the same evasive tactics that Amos Anderson uses
(Amos: "How do you define Latino?".  Peter: "How do you define
listserver?"  President Clinton:  "It depends on what the definition of is
is").  Again, how can I obtain the exact same rights and privileges and
passwords that you have to [log in to unmask]

I ask the questions publicly because the issue is a CU issue, which is "Why
is only a couple people dictating the use of
[log in to unmask]  And, how can the administration of the
listserver be finally in the hands of the members?

On several occasions, a couple "real members" of CU made important
decisions in the name of CU.

Again, how can I obtain the exact same rights and privileges and passwords
that you have to [log in to unmask]  This message only asks about
[log in to unmask]  I don't want to hear about Yahoo.  Like you and
Alphonso, I want to be a moderator of [log in to unmask]
