Kevin,
Your post, was an email it seems directly to Bert, not to the Panotools-List
itself,
Even so, It was immediately relayed to the whole list by Bert.. which is
what you would have wanted..
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Panotools-List/message/93?l=1
I believe that Bert may be temporarily banned from the [Panotools] list by
yourself, so I have posted this link as he cannot defend himself against
your claim.
It was relayed..
Steven

Oh the irony of the Bert-Yuval new list. When I tried posting the following
reply to thier
message, it seems dissent is not allowed on thier list. My post went to
Bert and never gets
relayed. Here is what I said:
================
This is exactly the type of behaviour why I put Bert on a 30 day no post
suspension on the
Panotools list. Not because of the activity but because of the fact
twisting inflamatory
posts. For example, take a look at the post below. At what point did any
of the change
opponents term the choices 'the bathroom option' and the 'dictators option'.
These are
inflamatory terms apparently of Bert's choosing.
Here are the original questions posted by Yuval as those who voted early on
recognize:
a democracy with a team of admins elected by the community for a
time-limited,
renewable mandate?
a dictatorship where Kevin, John or another dictator can ban people and
topics as he
pleases without consulting the listmembers?
Heck yes. Who wouldn't want a democracy versus a dictatorship but are Bert
and Yuval the
sort of management you want running a public list?
