   You can always tell a teacher, but you can't tell him much - although we   
   do our best in the interests of AR.   
      
   I see your legal group charm offensive has run out of steam, so it's   
   obviously back to your ad-hom fall-back position.

   "RSGBTech is meant for everyone", or so the RSGB says. The group is   
   moderated 'to   
   ensure that the questions are on topic', but the group's own admissions   
   policy mention   
   (a pre-) 'vet', 'known', 'trouble', and 'maker', but not the vetting   
   policy! None of these are   
   'moderation' issues and none are mentioned in the RSGB's Guidelines.....
