[DML] Special rules for me (Marc Levy)

[Marc Levy <malevy_nj@xxxxxxxxx>]

With all due respect Mike, My comment (or jab) was not
specifically at the loss (or rejection) of my messages
because we could debate hours on the merits of why any
particular message is accepted or rejected... (many of
those posts can be found on the DMC Forum, for those
who are interested)

My point (jab) was that in the many years I have been
a member of the DML, it has been customary for the
moderators to reject a message with some sort of short
explanation as to why.  In my case (lately) I do not
even get a rejection notice.  Private e-mails to the
moderators asking for explanation have also been
ignored.

(side note;  I remember a short time after we moved to
E-Groups James set my account such that my messages
were not even moderated..  Yes, I guess James even
liked me at one time!  )

Like me or not, I think all members of this community
deserve a little more respect than that.  I know being
a moderator may be a time consuming and thank-less
job, but no one is holding a gun to your head to do
it!

If your looking for a moderator, I volunteer.
