That's just an outright lie. I have supported Carol's right to post _in
this group_ for years. I'm proud of that. I haven't a clue about, or an
interest in, anything else she does on the net.

==================
Nor should anyone else have an interest where else I post.

Thank you

Isn't wherever Carol posts as Derek says a little irrelevant to the
topic in hand?.....someones posting history should not make any
difference in a moderated Usenet group - so I don't understand why she
is trying to make a point on it....nym shifting, which has happened
twice today - once to Zebulon and now to Zebulon using additional
characters I can't be bothered to find out how to do....is again
irrelevant but very annoying and confusing (and in fact might not be
that irrelevant if a poster is setting out to confuse)....Zebulon has
been used as a nym in the discussion with Koi-Lo - surely during such a
serious discussion such as this deciding to change your nym is confusing
at the very least or disruptive at the worst....

IIRC and I have read far more of the sad history than I should have done
- Derek is supporting the fundemental principle of anyone to post on
Usenet without any bias on personality or behaviour elsewhere - I won't
say right because anyone going out to deliberately curb the rights of
others has no rights at all in my mind to be included in the little
communities that occur in these groups (and before you leap on the email
again Carol this is a generic statement).

The moderation team also needs to consider whether nym shifting or
morphing is acceptable in the moderated group along with
impersonation....all of which generally tend to hint to me that people
are up to no good (again generic)
