I appreciate your clarification on this!<br>><br>><br>> Can you explain this?<br><br>PEBKAC. This has occurred before (several times IIRC) where you<br>accuse the list moderator (who does not
exist) of blocking your posts.<br><br>It has been explained to you that it is an open, unmoderated list, yet<br>every few years this accusation of "blocking" comes back. I have to<br>say it is a bit tiresome.<br><br> then we can figure out who is owed apology or<br>> disrupting a "serious matter" or changing the subject ?<br>><br><br>which is what you have done in the sentence below!<br><br><br>> I also asked clarification where this UN moderated server is sitting as<br>> well. Can anyone answer that before requesting apologies?<br><br>What UN server? This list is NOT run by the UN?<br><br>The server sits either in Jo'burg or MU (why is this important?) and<br>the service is provided as a public service (gratis) by AfriNIC.<br><br><br>-- <br>Cheers,<br><br>McTim<br>"A name indicates what we seek.
