[DML] Re: Special rules for me (Marc Levy) -- Plus Claudia Wells on Radio

[Mike Substelny <msubstel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Marc Levy proposed a theory that special rules apply to him:

I'm not moderating this week, but I'll indulge Marc Levy's vanity and 
respond to the thread he started with his own name in the subject line.

The moderators generally give little latitude in discussing exchanges 
that have not been published on the DML. Examples are hearsay claims 
that someone said something scandalous away from the DML, or claims that 
legions of silent supporters share a belief they've never expressed on 
the DML.

If we allow this behavior, the DML could break down into tabloid 
bedlam.  Anyone with an axe to grind could make any sensationalist claim 
yet sidestep responsibility by attributing it to events other DMLers did 
not witness.  Marc Levy, perhaps you should feel this week's moderator 
has been especially lenient with you because your thread about yourself 
was approved at all.


This tidbit doesn't deserve its own thread, but previous and future 
DeLorean Car Show guest Claudia Wells was interviewed on today's 
Marketplace Morning Report (business radio show).  The interview aired 
June 9, 2006 near the end of the 6:50 AM broadcast, which is archived on 
their website:

Looking forward to seeing a bunch of you tomorrow,
