You don't own the RTLToronoto group on this server.  On another server,
perhaps.  This one, no.  If it makes me unpopular with a small group of
people to express my concern, so be it.  You are each responsible for your

have no authority for the rtlToronto NG, and this is what I've sort of bit
my tongue on for the last day or so:

I find your self appointed, self rationalized, policing a little arrogant.
I've spoken to a few people here in Toronto this evening and I think it's
the crosspost to admin/general that flaunted pseudo-authority that got me
and others a bit ticked.  You don't get to say "Take it or leave it",
Suzanne does.*

* and of course, she has said so :)
