You confirm that it is the same mesaage. That is all that matters right now.

I understand perfectly.

Earl wanted to have me listed as COMOD but the echolist bot did not accept
that. He then did the next best thing and listed me as MOD.

There is no misunderstanding.

So if by your definition a comod is a mod, what is the problem with listing
this comod as mod?

That however is not what Earl wanted.

If it is just for updating the elist, indeed. If it comes to performing other
moderator duties it does.

I have stated sevaral time and Earl has confirmed it: I am the comoderator. By
your own defintion that *is* a moderator.

I have also said that I do not particularky care that I am listed as MOD. What
I object to is people harping me over alleged deriliction of duties because of
it.

I have no problem being listed as MOD despite the fact that I am just the
comod. By your own definition it is the same. So what is the problem?


Cheers, Michiel
