I have been on this list almost since Day 1.  For 4
years I was one of the moderators.  I cannot recall a
single instance of "retaliation" from postings on this
list.

There was a situation some time ago revolving around
list members who paid another list member for
something and then had a VERY long wait to get what
they paid for.  During that situation there were some
pretty harsh words and a couple of threats of "legal
action", but no "retaliation".  

If one means getting his/her messages turned down,
that certainly is not retaliation unless every single
message is turned down and I don't believe that has
happened.  Trust me, I've had several messages
rejected since I left the moderator position. 
Frankly, on review I felt that the rejection was
usually justified.  And, when not, I reworded it and
got the post through.

This should not be construed as a comment upon the
merits of the current situation.  I've expressed my
views about it on the list, ONCE, and I don't intend
to be argumentative.

Further comments on something that has gone on as long
as this should, I believe, be resolved by off list
correspondence.  For example, Marc and I have done
just that on this very subject.  We disagree, but we
respect each others right to disagree.

Can we move on?
