Re: Simon is impersonating me.

Say what you will, the reasons posts are cancelled have been about the same
for over 20 years. Messages I have seen cancelled have been primarily due
to attacks, multiple-posts of the same message, excessively rude language,
spam and extremely off topic subject matter. When we moved from Compuserve
we no longer had their automated oversight to contend with so the
enforcement became more lax. We have deliberately continued to have lax
enforcement.

Depending upon the individual reason, different people have thicker skins
than others. For example I rarely cancel a non-spam message.

Sorry, but neither Rudy nor any other TeamB member owes
you any explanation for why certain posts are cancelled.

And THAT is part of the whole problem.

TeamB could get away with it if weren't for that pesky Google News
(just a click away in some reader software), which all too often
reveals that a post has been cancelled for no earthly discernible
reason, leaving no possible conclusion other than that the canceller
has some personal exception/umbrage/disagreement with the content
or in some cases just the *poster* of the utterly benign and
unobjectionable content.

When they do that, then an explanation absolutely is required if
TeamB, and by association CG, are to maintain their reputation.

Otherwise it's -

"CodeGear: Where Some Developers Matter as Long As They
Don't Say Certain Things That We Don't Like"

Maybe TeamB are not CodeGear, but they hold an exalted position on
this, a CodeGear resource, so to all intents and purposes TeamB are
CodeGear representatives in these fora.

No amount of legal mumbo-jumob-disclaimerese can alter that
perception.
