Brilliant rejoinder from the shallow end.

[I Am Not A Mod]

I just got your reply to my freepmail. I would love to post it here, but will only do so with your permission. However, since you indicated that I should have posted my freepmail instead of freepmailing it, consider it done.

I shouldn't have made that sarcastic comment to the thread, so let me start with an apology.

The breaking news stuff is challenging. Letting it go does open us up to being played by those who are just trying to be troublemakers. But not letting it go diminishes the site.

We evaluate each on on a case by case basis. If the poster is well established, or if a moderator has seen the same thing, or we have vouchers from respected freepers, we tend to want to let things go.

We can use this account when we want to reply and not have the replies to our reply fill up the Admin Moderator self-search.

I *do* appreciate you trying to help the site self-police itself, and regret the first post I made to you because I think it was off-putting. Regards, AM
