Response to Censorship on this news group

I'll make one final comment in regard to this issue. I did not, and have never, deleted anything at the request of a manufacturer, nor am I anyone's lackey. I deleted a post that I felt was inflammatory and unfriendly, and in addition I deleted Volker's very brief post, which had provoked it. I have apologized to Volker for deleting his post, and in retrospect it obviously should have been left alone. I am perfectly capable of making a mistake and assume most of you make mistakes now and again also. It angers me greatly to be accused of censorship and partisanship, and to have my integrity called into question. I have tried very hard to keep a low profile as moderator-- at this point I would very much enjoy a return to relative obscurity. When this forum degenerates into accusations and backbiting, it ceases to be of value to any of us--I, for one, have better things to do than to argue with a bunch of people I've never even met. Once again, I appeal to everyone who participates in the forum to return to a friendly exchange of relevant information.
