heh. didn't expect you to call my bluff. But I think you missed my point. I
am doing this for free, so that I don't have to commit to any of this. Also
this kind of thing really should be for free, but the people that spend the
money to host it should get a little respect. And if they decide they want
out, they should be allowed to leave.

And some other people have said they would be starting lists, so just hop
onto one of those. And just think, you wouldn't have to put up with tyranny
of the horrible rat!
Sorry, I'm so pissed off right now, I think I'll wait another day before
posting anymore. I'm only making things worse by trying to defend myself.

And please, all of you, stop asking me to reconsider. I've announced that I
will shut down the list, and I try not to make a habit out of saying I will
do things, then not do them. And after all the hate mail I have gotten, I
don't think there's any possible way in hell I will set myself up for that
abuse again.
