1a)Yeap I know of the rules do I know them by heart no. More like
Paul complains everytime some one sells something on the list and that
Paul points to the website

2a) Did I violate them on purpose : yes, And some times urgency lets
you bend the rules. I dont see cops giving tickets to speeders who
are trying to get ther prego wives to the hospital. No I am not
association my mini drama with birth just giving it an example of
where urgency allow bendind or breaking of the rules.

3a)Yes as you seem to come off as pompus and anal retentive. So Post
Nazi fits. Everything in moderation but to you it is black and white
and no grey. Kinda reminds me of RMS so maybe your not a post nazi.
Maybe your more like Communist Commarde Paul the list moderator then
post nazi. The one nice thing about me is you will always know where
you stand with me.

4a) Now in three years I could only find 2 private converstations I
have with you. Far from repeated. Also I would like to see these
thick files I find it entertaining to see whats in them. Is it like
my fbi file, am I going to find black bars over every thing.

Some say the ends justify the means, or that a list that is
effectively dead should not have so many rules. If I am the trouble
maker you want to make me out to be you could of easily put me in a
moderation queue, and then approved and denied my post, if it was such
a great injustice.

Well put it simple I did not know I was getting these lcd monitors
until about 11 am thursday morning. It is not something I bought and
then went oh shit . This was sprung on me and I basically posted to a
couple of different list I am on that have local people who might be
able to use the equipment. I have to have it gone no latter then
tuesday and other then one monitor I would set by the curb I would
like to see the other two go to good homes. If i had to do it all
again I would of still posted, just would not of called you a post
nazi.
