Chris.......Read your post mate....i aint on the list to ruck with other members. Its only my view and we are all entitled to our opinion and views. All i can say is Rob Stringer has always been curtious and decient towards me.I take everyone on face value but in my part of the world when it seems like people are ganging up on another person ie 3 or 4 or 5 to 1 it just seems a bit unfair. After all most of us are miles apart and only the Email is the way me make contact.This is a good list with good people.I hope it always stays that way.Regards Mark.......PS .....I aint kissing anyones arse and i never will its just my point of view.I will leave it at that.

Mark,
Let's not fool ourselves; Mr. Stringer runs his ftp site for his own
benefit. Any benefits to anyone else are merely the cost of him getting what he wants. He's made that clear more than once.
Anyone who cares to can easily turn up everything on his ftp site on their
own in other venues; he provides mere convenience, rather than a priceless boon to the KLF fan community. Can we please stop kissing his ass over that?
He (as you know) has been the center of sort of thing on more than one
list. At this point, given the sheer number of long-term users he's clearly annoying on multiple lists, I'd suggest that perhaps the problem is him, rather than everyone else. Well-meaning people defending him only leads to more questionable behaviour on his part.
As to the rest of your post, it can just as easily be turned around and
applied to Mr, Stringer. Since he annoys a non-trivial fraction of the list by the manner of his posts; perhaps he should be the one to change, and follow the (very) minimal standards of netiquette we like around here.
Chris
