                          PART II
                  Election of a new moderator
 
 
    [-------------------------------------------------------]
 
 
        Continuing now with the exposition that the moderator is
        acting with a conflict-of-interst.
 
 
        1)      Previously the moderator stated that 386bsd was no longer
                supported.  If this is true, then this means that the
                moderator of "announce", for 386bsd, no longer
                supports 386bsd.
 
        2)      If the moderator does not support 386bsd and supports
                another Operating System in it's place then he is in
                conflict-of-interst.
 
        3)      By posting the FAQ to 386bsd the moderator will show
                his support for 386bsd.   If he does this, it means that
                "the claim to not posting" is not evidence to show that
                he is acting with a conflict-of-interest.
 
        4)      However, posting the FAQ will point to the
                contradiction in terms coming from the moderator.
                Namely it shows that he will do things only on his
                terms and not in the interest of 386bsd.
                This shows another conflict-of-interest.
 
        5)      Further evidence to this is the fact that the moderator
                was ignoring the articles sent to him, even after
                acknowledging their existance.  This shows an
                irresponsible action on his part and possibly a
                conflict of interest.
 
        6)      Not accepting the articles without editorial
                modifications is a conflict-of-interest.
                The moderator is, by the charter, to deny or accept
                the articles based on their contents not his
                prejudices.
 
        7)      By stating that the articles may be of a less than
                trustworthy nature the moderator shows that his he is
                not accepting article based on their contents, but on
                his merit.  This shows a further  conflict-of-interst.
