<VV> It's been fun...

Who the hell is VV-help!!! They need to be strung up with a bad rope! This is total Crap!!! I have been on VV since it was started, but if this is the way we treat members, go perform an unnatural act with yourselves.

Joe White - You old women really pissed me off this time!!!

Hi folks

I received this message earlier, from a shadowy organisation calling itself 
'VV-help':

> For the next 30 days all posts from you to the VVs will be reviewed

> all the rules before they are sent out.  Moderation is not real time and

I accept entirely that I have posted several off-topic posts. However, as I 
had already told 'VV-help', and had also mentioned to the list, this was 
because I had been absent from VV for some years, and I had actually 
completely forgotten about the existence of VV-Talk, I hadn't yet subscribed 
thereto (and now won't be).

Since I received my earlier reminder, I have not started any new non-Corvair 
threads, and I have only responded to a small number of messages onlist (and 
a larger number offlist). Each of my onlist posts has been preceded with a 
warning that the topic was off-topic and shouldn't be being discussed on VV.

However, for some reason I am being picked on and made an example of (rather 
than the others who posted and/or replied to the other off-topic posts, 
principally the Chevy Volt one).

As I object a) to being picked on; and b) to being moderated (I will not be 
controlled in this way on something that is supposed to be my hobby), I will 
unsubscribe again forthwith.

I have enjoyed my brief return, but I will not accept being picked on, and I 
will not submit to heavy-handed and unsubtle moderation. I will submit 
happily to courteous and tactful moderation, but that clearly isn't the 
order of the day, so I will get my hat and leave.

Bye bye

Alan
