Again Leonard - I never said it was off topic for the group it was in. Why you
keep going back to this point is truly beyond me. Please understand this simple
point. My point, again, was the group ITSELF is in the wrong place. As anal as
some of the people are around here about posting in the correct place and
keeping the tight compartmentalization in place I find it odd that these 100%
off-topic posts (despite the fact the posts themselves may be in the correct
group – the point is the group itself is in the wrong group) are allowed outside
the off-topic forum.

Maybe thats why I posted it there (in the admin groups)? And maybe thats why I
set the FUTs there? I have seen many, many posts such as mine (changing the
subject) that did exactly what I did - post the reply in that forum to ensure
the person sees it, but also cross-post it to the new group and set the FUTs
there. This is common and accepted practice here on Lugnet,

Nobody was attacked man - take a deep breath and relax. See more below on this
point.
And again Leonard - I never said his post belongs in off-topic! I will say this
yet again - the GROUP .PEOPLE SHOULD BE A SUB-GROUP OF .OFF-TOPIC. Sorry for the
caps, but you have 100% ignored this the last few times I said it. And I hope it
being in all caps sticks out a tad more and maybe you will see it that way,
because you have not seen it yet for whatever reason.

If? lol, Thanks for proving that you did not understand my point despite the few
times I directly said it. This along with your stance that I attacked Todd shows
you either refuse to comprehend my very clearly written post or you have a
personal problem with me. Which is it? And please re-read my previous posts
before you reply to this point. I clearly said that that is EXACTLY my point -
and said it a few times. Why do you need to ask 'if'?

I don't care what email he posts from - HE is still the one that can make the
change that IMHO is needed. I did NOT attack him - I asked honest and simple
questions. I am sorry if that is not something you can understand for whatever
reason. And that is why I replied to his post and not any other persons.. THEY
can't make changes... the owner of the site can. See the difference? See the
point?
Sorry if I am a bit terse here Leonard, but your ignoring the point of my
suggestions and questions to Todd, the site owner despite what email he posts
from, and your insistence that I was attacking him... that is very infuriating
to me. I find your insisting the true troll-ish attacks and something Mohammed
Saeed al-Sahaf himslef would be proud of, sorry but I do. My point, my
suggestions, my questions were very clear and you still have to ask "if". Sorry
Leonard - I can't see your posts any other way.
I have no hard feelings towards you Leonard - I just think you need to go back
and do more reading.
