Come on Dan, you know that's not true, don't you? You were suspended for accusing
the list owner of acting as an unauthorised moderator of the list.

See, the funny thing is that Diane and the rest of the list have come to terms with
a way forward. Your ego prevents you from doing likewise - you seem to crave
confrontation and aren't interested in anything but kicking Adobe and anyone else
who disagrees with you. Diane will get answers from the other list, because she was
willing to meet the rest of the participants halfway.

As I have pointed out in the past, I joined this list for no such reason. I (and
possibly others) joined in the interest of having maximum coverage of Frame
discussion. In the event that you include me in your imaginary rat pack, my one and
only communication with Brad has been to complain about people quoting excessively
and sending HTML, to which I did not receive a reply. There is no conspiracy - some
people just don't agree with you.

I would also encourage Diane to join this list, for the same reasons that I did.
Interesting that you used the word "usually" and not "always", but then you've
recently been found to be too vitriolic for this list as well, haven't you?

I'm getting tired of your games, Dan. You can say and think what you like of me, but
your fabrication of the facts damages both the credibility of this list and your own
personal standing. Ultimately, I could see you as the only list member of
Dan@Dan.com, though I doubt if you'd get on with the owner.
