> I'm not sure what you mean, what rules and what agreement? He needs to email me himself or herself, and I'll post something if I do shorten it?That's your agreement about shortening block lengths. I was also referring the rules regarding posting under a different name while blocked and notification on the Admin board of posting under a new name. Which I sort of think ought to be formal notification in the subject line, not just mentioned in a post somewhere.

> BobI like your humor, Dr. Bob. But I think you ought to keep in mind that you aren't the only person affected, even if you're the person who is being exposed, so to speak. Perhaps there could be ways in which impact on the community is minimized when someone wishes to ummm... expose problems with the administration. Perhaps we could all give it some thought?
