   And for the third time, you still ignore part of the hierarchy.   
      
   While the first RFD ignored the hierarchy except for .misc and .policy,   
   and the second RFD added .antennas and .dx, this third RFD long after   
   the discussion started still ignores three of the newsgroups in   
   the hierarchy:   
     rec.radio.amateur.boatanchors   
     rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc   
     rec.radio.amateur.space   
      
   In the end, you can't speak for the hierarchy if you don't even   
   know which newsgroups exist in the hierarchy.  No wonder you have   
   such disregard for the hierarchy, you only think of yourself as some   
   "administrator" type rather than a participant.   
      
   You aren't building bridges, you're imposing your vision on the hierarchy.   
   The fact that you still don't come to the hierarchy and simply talk to us,   
   isntead hiding behind the structure of creating a new newsgroup, says   
   everything about your relationship to newsgroups.   
      
   IN the end, I conclude that you like moderated newsgroups because Usenet   
   never sat well with you, and the only way you can deal with it is impose   
   your need for rules on something that is a haven from that.   
      
   Ultimately, you are like the problem posters.  Neither of you can live   
   without rules, though you need them because you can't tolerate the lack of   
   rules, while they need them because they think the lack of rules is license   
   to do as they please.   
      
   You've spent the decade trying to impose rules on the hierarchy, while   
   the rest of us were actually trying to make the hierarchy good by   
   participating in the discussions.   
      
   Useless administrators are always trumped by people doing things.
