!! Dear Pat, Please remove me from the Telecom Digest mailing list. We

!! Thanks,
for what? assisting a working chump in getting fired?
!This came from someone at the same AT&T office as Randy ... I'm sorry
!this led up to the point that outside email is no longer welcome in
!the office.
that's what you're sorry about, Patrick?
might i suggest that you *rent some perspective* ???
aren't you sorry that you enabled this whole ugly episode
by failing to MODERATE, Patrick? is a bit of email connectivity
really more important to you than the fact that Borow was fired?
you said something along the lines of "let the chips fall where they may"
regarding your decision to post the article. b o g u s.
what's the point of "moderation" if that's your attitude? you
refuse to post anonymous yet harmless ravings from my friends
at another LD company, but you do post obviously harmful stuff
from now ex-ATT-employee Barow.
"Norman, please coordinate." (nerdly star trek reference.)
though i've had my disagreements with you, Townson, until now
i thought you were a good moderator for telecom digest. but this
episode really makes me wonder what the heck your motives are.
all it would take is an admission that you blew it,
and a little sympathy for the ATT chump, and i'd be back in your
corner again, for what that's worth! :)
any net.newbie would have known that Barow's information should
never have been posted to the net. WHY did you post information
that you must have known would get this chump in deep shit?
