     I'm still more than a bit surprised that you could find that sort
of drivel "humorous," but okay.  In what way DID you find it humorous?
 Was it funny because the author was such an obvious nincompoop?  Or
was it funny because it socked it to the "ignorant" errancy crowd?

     You mean to tell me that, once somebody is on, you have no way to
get them off?  Sounds like you need to find another provider to host
the CCBE list.  One that gives you more control than the Makelist
people do.

     No, even if you assume my word is worthless, there are several
other ways that you could logically demonstrate that I'm NOT posting
all CCBE posts to Farrel.

     1) If I were indeed posting all the traffic, eighty percent of
the messages Farrel received from me would be messages that had
already been posted to the errancy list (I've noticed that you are by
FAR the heaviest contributor).  Furthermore, much of the traffic that
is not directly reposted from Errancy would still be irrelevant to
him.  He'd probably kick me off the list for bothering him like that.

     2) The early responses are usually not worth the effort it takes
to read them.

     3) Tim is on your list, and HE is the one who forwards everything
to Till :).

     Besides, even if I did stop accessing your archives, I would
still theoretically be able to gain access to them.  This means that,
even if I shape up and start being a good little boy, you will still
be blaming my crafty machinations for the fact that all twenty of your
members together can't seem to formulate a coherent post.

     BTW, why did you get rid of the hit counter on your site?  I
thought it was something you'd be proud of.
