1.  My ORIGINAL posting was not directed at Nick, but at those who were
    accusing me faking mail IN SCUBA-L.  Nick was mentioned only
    relative to the background of WHY it took me time and effort (using
    my mailer HERE) to sub just to post my protest.

2.  I had requested EVERYONE to reply to me VIA EMAIL.  Scuba-SE was the
    2nd choice because I did NOT want to have to subscribe to Scuba-L
    just to have any argument or a fight over this in the first place,
    only to tell those offenders to cease and desist in  flaming me of
    faking mail (which I NEVER do) especially in Scuba-L.  Let THEM
    subscribe here to attack or rebut me.  This IS my "extended" home
    of Scuba-L.  Why do you think MOST of the regular posters in Scuba-SE
    are here?  Why are YOU here?  You certain is NOT a South-East USA
    diver!

Nick was the one who not only picked the fight, but forced it here by

(a) GOING public instead of private email.

(b) Post public lies about me and the issue in Scuba-L while contrived
    "strikes" to ban me from Scuba-L to defend myself (if I so choose).

Or better, just read your Scuba-SE from the webpage (as I do) and not
have to use any delete key at all if you're not interested!

Given the same circumstances, I'll do it every time.

Michael, you're rehashing old turf.  Nobody is FORCING anyone to do
anything.  This is a PUBLIC, OPEN forum.  Using the delete key is
the TRADITIONAL approach advised and practiced by LISTSERV readers.

Try the MODERN approach of using the web archives and quit whining
every time there is a thread that YOU don't like.

You are wrong as usual.
