Perhaps Nathan has the capability of adding 2 + 2 and getting the right
answer.

Ever heard of Shank's mare? And we do not charge admission to board
meetings (now, there's an idea!).

: Do you believe you will be given a higher access? So as you can librarily 

I really don't like to denigrate posts because of misspelling, etc.,
especially from one whose first langage is not English, but when it
totally obscures the meaning of the post, some comment is necessary:

What do you mean by librarily?

: delete other people's posts and spy on their mail? I think TFN has enough.

Nathan was reprimanded for issuing forged cancel messages; there never has
been any suggestion (not to mention evidence) that he spied on anyone's
mail.

: the TFN is safer in Bruce's hands than in yours. I still have that 
: opinion, not that I like what Bruce is doing (or not doing most of the

: not one. If there is no use to both GTS or CSAS then why they are there?

The reasons for the existance of gts.torfree.net and other aliases has
been explained to you several times. 

If people call you ad613@torfree.net or falcon@torfree.net, or even
Nabster, or el-goddamnyou, or whatever, does that diminish you in any way?
Are you less of a person for it?  Does it take anything away from you? 

No? Well, neither does an alias called gts.torfree.net take anything away
from the TFN.
