I don't know what the pseudo-FAQ is. The FAQ that is sent by the list
owner to anyone who signs up for this list is the one I'm referring to.

Yes. You can't answer the question, so you insult. There we have it. Do
as I say, not as I do. Sorry, I don't follow those kinds of orders from
pseudo list dictators. "It's OK for me to complain about the complainers
but it's not OK for anyone else to complain about anything list
related." Sheesh. Gimme a break.

Then why did you reply to wcstaff if you didn't think a thread should be
started?

Your post I replied to was in reply to someone else. You could have
replied to wcstaff. Now, again, why didn't you reply to him off-list
instead of doing what you apparently consider improper? Oh, I forgot. Do
as I say, not as I do.

Obviously it's just for the sake of trolling.

No, you're wrong again. If I got such an unsolicited commercial email I
would have sent a complaint to his ISP.

I was using your interpretation:
"	So, how about we ban anything even closely resembling
Spam, Commercial Advertising, Alpha and Beta Test Calls"

The list owner, at the time, posted very clear guidelines and I don't
think the current list owner has stated they no longer apply.

See the above URL. The chosen "one" is the list owner.
