Mike,

I have never managed any groups on yahoo|google and don't intend to, even. I am a member of YP - an ordinary one. I have never managed it. The contention here has nothing to do with YP though. Just don't flank the question I asked:-)
And I hold no beef against anyone. Robert Alai (and his pseudonyms) were kicked out of KICTANet because of being unnecessarily abusive and taking on personalities rather than issues. I am afraid you are either the personification of Alai on this forum, or his advocate (perhaps his clone?).
My problem though is simple: Why does the mention of BA ruffle your feathers this badly? You aren't an angel, or are you? Being human makes me believe you are susceptible to mistakes, like the rest of us and those will always be pointed out, like Phares did.It shouldn't make you start breathing vitriol on everyone you see:-)

So now, the only way this flame war will cease is when the list admins wield the big stick?

Why don't you earn yourself some positive recognition by ending this flame war by yourself, at least this time?
