Posting guidlines as per the group

[trev]

hi mike montfort,

i made a mistake - i thought you were a moderator because your mail sounded 
like a moderator mail. we all know how mistakes like this are so easily made 
on internet conversations. it makes the "hi jack" part of my mail nonsense, 
so for that, i apologise.
if you were a moderator, with the power that goes with being a moderator, my 
post would still stand.
we like to look after our Blessed Ones you see

best wishes,

Judge Trev
