Mark,

Please don't do this.

If you genuinely want this list to be a useful and friendly resource, 
which is what your posts suggest, then please step back and look at your 
own words and see whether they actually further that end.

As moderators, we don't intervene lightly or often. And it seems that 
the things for which we intervene (such as your repeated bolshy manner 
lately) are not the things for you which you would intervene (such as 
off-topic posts or ill-considered questions).

So be it. If this list isn't the thing you want it to be, and if its 
current moderators don't feel that it needs to change in the way you 
want it to change, then perhaps you should consider directing your 
undoubted energies elsewhere.

But please don't play cat-and-mouse just because you want to have the 
upper hand and get the last word. I said it before and I'll say it again 
here: have a little dignity and accept that your ideal is not everyone's 
and move on. Or be the better person and contribute usefully to the list 
as you've often done.
