I inadvertently sent a message to myself and not the list. In proper dchronological order, it should be the one below the message quoted below it. In other words, the order should have been reversed.

Here is the message: I've been on this bgroup for years, first as a member, then as a moderator, then as an owner. I don't see any degredation of the group except, of course, that Carlos, the founder, is no longer around to make the knowledgeable contributions he made and develop the very useful software he did. And in terms of running the list, at times he may have handled something better than I. I generally agree with how Carlos ran the list and I think I run it in a similar way. Of course, since I'm not Carlos, there will be differences. And do you really think it is appropriate to insult me publicly on the list? While I generally give people latitude, if there is going to be a discussion of wheteher I am doing a good job as owner, please take it to the chat list. This isn't the appropriate place. Anyone who wants to participate may join and do so. I'm always interested in constructive criticism. I won't allow the discussion of the way I run the list to continue on the main list. I monitor the chat list and I'll see any comments there. But if the topic continues here, where it isn't appropriate, I'll close the topic. Gene

If this list starts to decline and the reason may be me, I'll consider appointing another owner. Laaz would make a good owner. He is now the moderator. I put the well-being of the list above whether I am owner. I am pleased to serve as owner. If that becomes detrimental to the list, I'll step down if I am convinced that is the right thing to do. I am not list owner for my ego. I'm list owner because I was asked to be and people generally approved. Now, if you wish to continue to insult me and show your disdain for how the list is run, please do so on the chat list, where almost anything is allowed to be discussed.

And I just had to go back to my trash folder and I found the thread, and that thread his head 71 messages probably plus yes, I no you talk about not being guilty of changing subject lines but I think after a while he would've come forward and requested the change. Oh well it's your list it'll fall apart just like others that I've been a part of have. It's OK. On Aug 27, 2020, at 12:37 AM, Gene <gsasner@gmail.com> wrote:
