On Thu, 02 Sep 2004 22:33:06 -0700, R. Dan Henry ... I see the P.S. as a joke, rather than trolling. Anyway, it's the last one, so you can relax. You won't...

... Well, Glenn seems to think that it's a good idea to keep members aware that Modish is the place to discuss these sorts of things, and I agree with that. It...
... Time for me to play the devil's advocate - If there were topics in radwm-meta that are about Doctor Who (not part of the meta discussions), then would that...
... No, for the reason you give below. Any group can post a single or perhaps even a few Doctor Who-related posts -- it comes up in alt.star-trek or...
... Have the mods got it wrong this time, or are they right to refuse to approve my posts as well? Let me see if I have this right: One group is mandated by...
... Sorry, Lynn, I think that's flawed reasoning. Just because something's official doesn't make it on-topic. The style guide says the moderators may send...
I think occasional reminders that modish exists and is functional are important. Modish is a critical part of RADWM (per the styleguide), and as long as the...

... That's not strictly true. The moderators' policy is not to make formal warnings public, the style guide doesn't say either way. But your point is an...

Yes, I did say that, Glenn. And if it's appropriate to the group, I would like to thank you since it was one of your supposedly "off-topic" posts that ...
