I'm only going to use bad language one time in this newsgroup for this
post.

Quit being a little bitch and complaining about our 'spam' and try to
help do something to remedy the situation. Replying to each and every
of our posts against dragonwater will do nothing but perhaps spern
other people to post from Dragonwater. At least we are trying
SOMETHING. You yourself said that you didn't like Dragonwater either.

Good. Now do I have your attention?

"Doing something" is not always the same as "doing something
productive."

Oh, sure. Your critical threads have had an effect. The site owners
are now moderating out all of your critical threads. None of the
Dragonwater customers are going to see them. And the people at
Dragonwater probably just think you're a krank.

On the other hand, I've actually been corresponding with the owner of
the site and politely encouraging that more specific disclaimers about
what TeaTalk actually is be added to the site. He seems to comprehend
what I was saying, even if he hasn't acted on it yet.

So before you start waxing thersitical with your allegations of
complacency, you might want to consider that you don't know what I
have or haven't done.

And think about which one of us is actually having a positive effect
on the situation.

Ok. A correction is due. I was in error.

These threads are being moderated out, but they are being moderated
out by hand. So there is a lag time in which TeaTalk users can see
them. That is, in fact, probably having an effect.

I may be opinionated, but I can admit when I was wrong.
