I'm not alone in moderating the "other" Yahoo group Structural_Integration.
There are
3 other moderators. Since you took your marbles and when away last year, the
moderators had no work to do at all except for one swooping spammer. It's been
really
nice and quiet and the discussions have been interesting and thankfully
"Reda-less".

The guidelines we published which everyone who joins gets a copy clearly state
that
personal attacks (like the above) are no acceptable. That what got you
moderated last
time. Content not related to SI is less welcome. The posts you've attempted to
submit to
the group are under review by the other moderators because they involve me.
I've recused
myself from moderating them.

My duties as IASI's webmaster have nothing to do with the policies and
guidelines adopted
by the group and the moderators of the Structural_Integration nor does my lack
of interest
in your personal projects.

I fail to see why using a spam filter company for email has to do with my
ethics. Rather,
it's been great filtering out the 100+ spam I get from various sources. If
that's unethical,
I fail to see any connection.

I don't regret declining your invitation to work with you and see it was the
right decision.
