Amazing how a simple question about your apparent
interest in the DMC Forum becomes this rant about ME..
Defense by way of offense?
See Below..
Or don't.. Up to you!

Sole purpose in life? That is harsh. Your poor
judgment of me is your loss I guess.

Last I checked, I have access to all of the functions
other than "Add, remove, and change moderator
privileges". Not sure why my access would be a reason
for you to no longer participate or manage, but that
is up to you.
Furthermore, I did not question your qualification,
competency, or capability. More your interest in
doing so. You come across as having elevated yourself
beyond the "bickering" of the DMC Forum.

Did I complain about any of the above?? Why do so
many people think it is good debate tactic to
attribute things to people that they never said?

So much like the DML moderators, as if managing a list
like this takes any significant amount of work! I
already own and manage a few other lists, so you can't
fool me with that.

Please, tell us what "administering" a un-moderated
list involves?

Judging behavior (something I do all the time) is NOT
the same as passing judgment on a person... As you
have done. I simply questioned your future interest
in this rouge mailing list considering your apparent
lack of interest.. Did I say this makes you a bad
person? I don't think so...
And you have twisted it all around to try and make me
look bad. Frankly, it DOES make me question your
motivations especially considering your status as a
Concours judge, and those you associate with because
of it.

Why are you defending your behavior as a judge? Did I
question it?

There are a lots of people who I have helped out on
these lists, and in person (I do wonder why they do
not publicly defend me, but oh well). If your saying
I contribute little in technical content, there are
just so many times the same question can be answered.
Dave T must have a database he just cut and paste to
the DML all day, so why waste my time?

Maybe if you were the guy I saved from breaking his
door mounts with the too-long DMCH struts, you would
feel differently.
"Grown Adults" can evaluate information.. But to do
so in a reasonable way, they need complete and
accurate information. Taking advice from "SonnyV" to
buy parts from DMCH is not evaluated the same way by a
"grown adult" when you find out it is really an
employee of DMCH.... Or am I wrong about that too?

Your kidding?? Yea.. I get a real high from all of
this abuse, name calling, and bullshit. I wish I did
not care, Really..
Maybe I need to try the dark side?? Nah, they would
never let me in. :)

You would rather burn to death than have someone who
comments on your behavior save you?
Your right, I am done because you have confirmed my
statements for all of the "grown adults" who can
evaluate what you have said.

Attack? I don't think I ever claimed to be the victim
of an attack, just censorship.
