Sorry about having neglected your complaint at the time. I realise that
the blame in this case is on me and on my fellow moderators. I can only
admit my guilt, apologise and try to explain myself: I manage Cybalist
affairs when I can find the time, which isn't easy this academic year. I
regularly do some lecturing outside Poznan and, having spent two or
three days away, often have to deal with 300-400 emails on my first
morning back.

You can ignore those ideas or counter them with reasonable arguments. In
the latter case civility is of course obligatory. Even if you feel let
down by the moderators, please have some sympathy with our plight and
don't take the law in your own hands. I hope I needn't add that I
greatly value your presence here and your contributions.
