--- In gevincountdown@..., "zefcountdown"
<zefcountdown@y...> MEANT to write (without typos/etc.):

The frequency of how often anyone or everyone posts (or
doesn't post) upon this forum is entirely a matter for
each individual person's own free choice. That means
that I cannot make any promises to you about how often
anyone will (or won't) choose to post messages here in
future. But this recent removal of the posting rights
of various forum misusers should now make Gevincountdown
forum much better protected & more comfortable place.

Gevincountdown forum can now offer somewhere that is safe
for everyone who wants to post legitimate messages which
discuss matters related to Countdown within a proper
environment, because absolutely NONE of the moderators
have a track record for involvement in repeatedly making
insulting postings - or harrassment that probably
breaches umpteen BT / Yahoo rules.

However, that same statement is not something which I
could say about the entire current line-up of moderators
(below the level of the "list-owner") at a certain other
Countdown forum within the Yahoogroups system ....

... An excellent move Gevin, thank you. Without this, I reckon that the abuses of this Gevincountdown forum by spammers - and others - would have only got...
