Re: POLITICS: Nearly all soda sales to schools to end!!!/missing posts

Gene,

I replied to the same one you've replied to, but mine didn't get

through 's problem. Now I'm glad because I like the way you

said it better.

The delay in getting your posts up isn't the moderator, is

having some problems, and actually for months has been dropping

posts that people have tried to send, as well as dropping a lot of

posts for those who chose to have posts emailed to them. Although

they are now saying it's a virus, that explains the almost blackout

a couple of days ago, this has been an ongoing problem, so if the

post was a lot of work to write, you may want to save a back-up copy

in case it doesn't get through.

I guess we should be grateful they provide this service for us for

free, and learn to live with it's quirks.

That said, they do work with the Chinese gov't to censor the emails

there, so who's to say sometimes the software doesn't make mistakes

and censor ours as well?

Gene,

I don't recall your character being at issue. always treats you

with high regard imo.

Well, it is a fact that I was in a special moderation status.

I also doubt that held me in high regard. I would refer, for example, to

the fiasco with (hmmm - I think I'm repressing his name) X a few months ago,

where X posted here about his interaction with me and posted publicly in

sympathy before he even found out what happened. He then refused to provide even

a remotely satisfactory apology, and censored posts of mine in reply.
