He tends to get that way when he encounters gross illogic or a masquerade
behind a facade.  On the other hand, he freely shares what little he
knows (or thinks he kows) with others.  Someone did his best to explain to
Dennis what his problem(s) might have been as to getting his filelist
to work.  Douglas' ill temper, though, is rather irrelevant.

It would seem, Dennis, that you are getting into politics and maybe
morality here, certainly into "political correctness."  From that I think
I can safely assume that you engage in moral/political judgement upon the
postings to your list(s).  Some listowners do not do that.  I think I can
safely say that, " I couldn't care less whether 'Morocco' is a kingdom, a
republic, a black hole or a colony of the twelfth planet."  Distinguishing
among those is not a function of rev by country and, far as I know, was
never intended to be, nor do I care what my subscribers' political or
religious beliefs are; discussion of such is forbidden on my lists.

Your complaint, and it sems it is *your* complaint, not that of Morocco,
be it a kingdom (constitutional ?) or a republic, appears to be that *you*
do not like the   rev by country    output.  That is fine, tell LSOFT so,
but don't hide behind "Morocco" which never knew that you did
  rev by country   and therefore could not issue a "mild rebuke"

The complaint is yours, not Moroccos, so say so.

You may take this as "a mild rebuke", though not from the Kingdom of
Morocco, or otherwise, as you please.
