BB,

Your "spy", lurking, lurker account, morasch@... was indeed
unsubscribed. I use that classification because:

Your public stance since June 2 was that you had unsubscribed from the XFB
list. And you posted nothing , other than the occasion evidence of your
lurking still, via offlist personal emails sent from bowerbird@..., not
morasch@....

You wrote, in thread Skeletons, June 2.


Yet you really hadn't, completely at least. You lied here or at best,
distorted the truth about unsubscribing by saying otherwise. So indeed,
recently <morasch@...> was unsubscribed as I gathered in part to align
your public stance with reality and to end your use of it as a sniping
platform, for non - conversational use. That was a reason I gave why you
should be unsubscribed at least.

You were not banned by any definition of the word.

>in the absence of knowing what was said about me in the interim

One can see that was your main concern for keeping the other account
lurking, worrying about what is said about you, or not, and when combined
with the below, the evidence is further compounded for that as a
motivation. You can say you don't care what people say about you, but the
evidence says otherwise.  And it is understandable.

>-- xfb has no archives, i guess they're ashamed of what they say --

The majority of XFB subscribers agreed it was to be kept that way a long
while back. For you to use that as a complex insult here is somewhat
irresponsible.

Re-up or not, otherwise, please let it die.  To those confounded: This
whole stupid mess got started because BB and Gnome had a Cascade failure
over CSS ( Cascading Style Sheets) ...Who cares. If you like it, use it.
Otherwise, don't . Simple as pie.

Nuts.
