Ärende: Swedish Raid on ISP Called Major Blow to Piracy
=======================================================
Hello mark.

17 Mar 33 20:02, you wrote to me:

There's a file with the definition of Moderator and CoModerator, the
latter says that the CoMod is recognized by the software, just as the
Mod is recognized. IOW, no difference. This is why the distribution
system's faqs used to say that the 1st listed moderator was their
primary contact and any others listed would be secondary contacts.

Nothing like using past articles in the snooze to discredit the one who
makes such assinine claims about things he should know about. :o)

 ml>>> i don't understand what elist-mania you speak of...

 RW>> The elist-mania in his own mind, of course.

 ml>>> one has ever said that it was the only such list nor has anyone

It isn't. That's just a convenient excuse when they've been shown how
wrong they are. Akin to whining without the cheese.

 ml>>> now, what the hell is so hard to understand about that???

 RW>> Svede/Dutch = Hard Head.

You can see the problem they're having by the mispelled, misplaced and
wrong words they use to make an arguement...
