[Electronics-talk] UBER

Sat Jun 16 18:53:13 UTC 2012

If I offended any others that may have misinterpreted my response, I 
apologize.  However, I interpreted the latter part of Mr. Andrews's 
proclamation to be hubris.  He said, "I would ask all of you to leave 
moderating the list to the Moderator --  that's me!"
Now, let me interject, I have no disrespect for Mr. Andrews's position.  And 
I know for sure, being human, he isn't close to be compared to God.  So, I 
don't see the harm in tapping each other on the shoulder to get our 
attention.
Vince, the darling angel
