Far from the truth, To me its more like one has to be in the click, before one can post. Posts turned down for a brief sentence about a product form Walmart? Then a off line message as to "rules" and no modern guns allowed? Then we see posts on Remington 700,s? Naw dont cut it indeed. Was turned down right off to join the list because of my name... I really think was turned down due to my heritage.. A fully moderated list is just that Moderated So as to insure the thoughts and rules of the Owner, Think King George had those same line of thoughts. Im sure "that" list has alot of good people on it indeed And your statement "playing by the rules"??? There are no rules even the owner states he can change the "rules" at = any time, and if you dont like then tough! Seems to me to be more of a control factor, thus having power in hands = to run off members and delete posts at will, thus giving a contol one = apparently has no where else. One cant bring much if anything to the table if the majority of posts = are rejected can one? But as i see it , if i change my thinking and take up the rules and = beliefs of the persons so deleting my posts then to I can become one-of = the boys? eh? Naw.. that dont fly... To many on that list I know, have wrote me telling me what a absolute = (*&&%@@!! he or someone is.. I think alot there are on the list to share the hobby, and tolerate the = nonsense...to a point. And if you took turn as moderator, did you not have to fall inline with = owners wishes and thoughts? Funny I have a whole sent file on rejected posts... some for no reason.. Myself, I think its just a whim of someone to mess with somebody.... Bet these same types of people sneak into Rondys incognito, cause i dont = think they would walk in letting all know who they were indeed. My thoughts on you post only.. And myself abiding totally by someone else,s rules, when others are = apparently gettin away with alot?? Naw.. but maybe thats just why in olden days. there were "company" = trappers... and then again there were "Freetrappers" Your thoughts so noted. sam ----- Original Message -----=20 From: rtlahti=20 To: hist_text@lists.xmission.com=20 Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 11:59 AM Subject: Re: MtMan-List: off topic ----- Original Message -----=20 From: WindWalker=20 To: hist_text@lists.xmission.com=20 Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2002 12:28 PM Subject: MtMan-List: off topic Am I paranoid?

Well Sir
I see you denote I dont follow = rules.
Far from the truth,
To me its more like one has to be in = the click,=20 before one
can post.
Posts turned down for a brief sentence = about a=20 product form Walmart?
Then a off line message as to "rules" = and no modern=20 guns allowed?
Then we see posts on Remington = 700,s?
Naw dont cut it indeed.
Was turned down right off to join the = list because=20 of my name...
I really think was turned down due to = my=20 heritage..
A fully moderated list is just that=20 Moderated
So as to insure the thoughts and rules = of the=20 Owner,
Think King George had those same line = of=20 thoughts.
Im sure "that" list has alot of good = people on it=20 indeed
And your statement "playing by the=20 rules"???
There are no rules even the owner = states he can=20 change the "rules" at any time, and if you dont like then = tough!
Seems to me to be more of a control = factor, thus=20 having power in hands to run off members and delete posts at will, thus = giving a=20 contol one apparently has no where else.
One cant bring much if anything to the = table if the=20 majority of posts are rejected can one?
But as i see it , if i change my = thinking and take=20 up the rules and beliefs of the persons so deleting my posts then to I = can=20 become one-of the boys? eh?
Naw.. that dont fly...
To many on that list I know, have wrote = me telling=20 me what a absolute (*&&%@@!!  he or someone = is..
I think alot there are on the list to = share the=20 hobby, and tolerate the nonsense...to a point.
And if you took turn as moderator, did = you not have=20 to fall inline with owners wishes and thoughts?
Funny I have a whole sent file on = rejected posts...=20 some for no reason..
Myself, I think its just a whim of = someone to mess=20 with somebody....
Bet these same types of people sneak = into Rondys=20 incognito, cause i dont think they would walk in letting all know who = they were=20 indeed.
My thoughts on you post = only..
And myself abiding totally by someone = else,s rules,=20 when others are apparently gettin away with alot??
Naw.. but maybe thats just why in olden = days. there=20 were "company" trappers... and then again there were = "Freetrappers"
Your thoughts so noted.

Am I paranoid?
Or is the "other list {mlml} = totally=20 moderated?
I'm up to 17 posts being=20 rejected
2 for "unproper wording" i.e = use of name=20 stores.
Just wondering, as I know not=20 different
Sam=20
 
Sam,
 
The other list is moderated. = Sometimes 100%, some=20 times selectively, sometimes not at all. But it does not have any = flame wars=20 and people who insist on being silly (read that rude or full of = themselves)=20 don't last. The rules are not difficult to adhere to if one is willing = but if=20 not, there are plenty of very knowledgeable folks and interesting = folks who=20 are willing to abide to make it a very informative and friendly place = to share=20 ideas.
 
Not having any idea what you have = tried to post=20 to the other list I can only surmise that you have failed to abide by = some of=20 the simple rules that allow your posts to go through with automatic=20 regularity. There is no particular "proper" format other than staying = on topic=20 (which boils down to keeping it civil and about muzzle loading) and = not=20 quoting any more of the message your responding to beyond what it = takes to let=20 folks know what your talking about. Usually 5 lines of the previous = message is=20 the limit. (Pretty much as I have done here)
 
If your post goes over that, it is = automatically=20 sent back to you by the "mechanical" server all the messages go = through. Not=20 by a real person. That automatic server will weed out over quoting of = the=20 previous message, certain course or inflammatory words or phrases, but = pays no=20 attention to your spelling or sentence structure. Not all of us have = good=20 typing skills or good knowledge of these infernal machines and such is = not=20 required. What we're interested in here and on the mlml is good folks = sharing=20 their knowledge and ideas in a civil, helpful = manner.
 
In your first few messages to the = list your=20 expected to share some basic information about yourself so that folks = have a=20 chance to "know you", which is important since we are not setting = across a=20 fire from each other. To weed out people who have hidden = agendas, the=20 first few posts from any new member are reviewed by a live = moderator. No=20 posts are rejected that are on topic and are following the simple = rules=20 established.
 
But the bottom line seems to be = whether you care=20 enough or have enough respect for the others who abide by the rules to = abide=20 by them yourself.
 
And no one is too old to learn new = tricks or=20 learn how to play by the rules.
 
< I'm to old to be waiting on pups = to either=20 approve my context/spelling etc or disapprove...=20
35 things must be in orger to post = and wind must=20 be from south etc. etc.....>
 
Unless much has changed since I took my turn as a moderator on = that list,=20 no one is approving your context/spelling, etc. only reviewing that = your=20 following the rules. If you have problems with that then you probably=20 shouldn't be on that list. It's of course your choice. But you will = miss out=20 on much good information just as the other members will miss out on = what you=20 have to bring to the table.
