[Boatanchors] Well, that got me banned immediately

Fri, 16 Apr 2004 07:30:57 -0500

Based on similar happenings in the past and the inevitable follow-on 
discussion, I think the rule is set down by the owner/operator of 
QTH.net.  It's his, he can set whatever rules he wants.  Duane done 
a good job of moderating these lists ...  on this is simply the 
messenger.

That said, on other lists without such draconian rules I've never 
seen a problem with overwhelming postings regarding items or 
activites taking place at unmentionable websites.  So one could 
wonder what all the stink is really about .. and why someone would 
have their head bashed for one post, when a simple warning or 
notice would most likely take care of the problem without generating 
such unnecessary bad feelings.  Nonetheless, it is what it is.
