Really? How are you - sorry they - "accountable"? Why not just admit that you don't really care whether they're accountable or not, or whether URCM is being run as a private club, just so long as the opinions that are given preferential treatment broadly match yours?

You don't care if the spirit of usenet is being blatantly violated as long as it's done by those with a similar agenda to you, do you? Why not have the courage to *say so* instead of pretending that the group is being run transparently and impartially simply because that's what the RFD/CFV said? Don't you find the constant deception wearing?

Regarding your Great Ambition, which part are you having trouble with?

1. It's 2. not 3. going 4. to 5. work

Especially bearing in mind that those who you're trying to impress are now very short on "moderators", don't you think that if your sycophancy was going to bear fruit then it would have done so by now? Is there any point at which you're intending on giving up gracefully and limiting the damage?
