<p dir="ltr">Sorry, Aaron. It seems you missed the point. </p>
<p dir="ltr">ALE is dying. The group is sustained by members and they have been leaving in droves. The group is close to needing life support. </p>
<p dir="ltr">The massive overload of single-source OT posts is acting like the angel of death for ALE. Thus the raising of the iron fist of moderation.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I can't sit in the closest thing there is to a drivers seat and watch the cliff get closer and closer without doing something. When ALE blew up over politics, I heard both sides and took a hard, no preferences stance and did just what I'm doing now. I'm saying 'NO MORE CRAP POSTS BECAUSE IT'S DRIVING AWAY OUR PEOPLE!'</p>
<p dir="ltr">If enough people royally pitch a fit over my attempted Hail Mary Save the List effort, I'll gladly pass the torch and move on.</p>
