   right... and email from newsgroups is any different? i think not...   
      
    JK> All my remarks are public.   
      
   in some areas, that is the way things are done... in others, some want to keep   
   the laundry in private...   
      
   with that all said, i am NOT trying to wanting to control the discussions in   
   this area... we're all adults here and we should be able to moderate   
   ourselves... i elisted this area to keep it on the distribution systems that   
   require such for them to carry areas... i don't care to try to push some   
   mythical ""weight"" around... i accept public and private comments about   
   situations related to the echo... in some cases, i may say something to one or   
   all parties involved and that /may/ be in private or public... this is why i   
   made the comment previously about having access to netmail...   
      
   and with all of that said, all i ask is that we are considerate of others and   
   not condescending or down-right ugly or attacking of others... this area is   
   not a newsgroup and it should not fall into such as seen over there...   
      
   thank you for your understanding...
