The average number of participants in .mecha have no relation to my not

You can be sure it's nothing personal. I don't make any calls as to what
'deserves' to be added.

I probably responded to his e-mail in my available time. Sending e-mail to
me is normally effective. I'm sorry if your past requests fell between cracks.
Now. I would have -never- have brought up money issues, but since you did,
you'll get my response:

Actually, Eric, according to your self-imposed membership fee, you owe
LUGNET money. You mentioned that you're in fact planning to send an
additional payment. I appreciate that and look forward to receiving it.
Because in all honesty... and to be quite blunt about it... in the amount of
time I've spent on this matter already today, by reading and posting replies
to this thread, I feel I have well earned what was already contributed.

Probably right. Everyone should take this post very seriously:

Finding funding for LUGNET is my top priority now, and takes an astronomical
amount of time and energy. It is what I spent most of today working on.

Let me make this perfectly clear:
LUGNET (ie, yours truly) is under NO such obligation.

Actually, I dont care if .mecha has a curator or not. I'm not asking that
the group come up with one. It's merely a fact that having one is how some
other groups keep their links up to date.

cool! I accept. :-)

I understand that.

Please, remind me where I said that.. (?)

I'm glad for you, but special treatment isn't the way we work here. As I
stated above, I make no judgments about what's more or less worthy of being
linked to in the .mecha sidebar.

There's no need to get upset. I have not refused to update the links.
But please notice, I have yet to. Truth is, they take a lower priority to
the activity in threads that touch admin groups. I've had to deal with this
first.

I will make every effort to do so before I retire for the evening. But be
warned, that may be 1 or 2 a.m. EST
> And Larry I post here because I don't agree with you at all.
BTW, any arguing of impropper management of LUGNET, whether it's done in
off-topic debate or not, is still directed squarely at me. Also, using that
group does not make it acceptable to be rude and irrational.
