>Geez. My email goes down for a few days, and I return to all of this mess.
Something similar happened a couple of years ago when I came here in
pursuit of the technoblatherous self-annointed amplifier "expert". (9/94
QST, p.72) His disciples became alarmed at my tactics and began to
kvetch to the moderator as well as to Bill Fisher, the reflector owner.
I did not back off, so I got booted off of AMPS. I continued to post
direct to the group using the AMPS-bypass list. Eventually, I got
reinstated.

As I understand it, only Will made the decision to pull the plug on me.
His mistake was in listining to crybabies.

As long as bitchers and moaners can kvetch in secret to the moderator,
they are not about to click the Delete button.

I was reinstated, Cedrick. However, I still have to send a few posts to
AMPS that disappeared during the donnybrook. .

When Rich was a young fart and didn't know how to start, he was helped by
some old ones. Now it's payback time.

-- A PROPOSAL
All bitching and moaning to AMPS moderators should be made public.
