Thanks for responding. Is every member moderated at all times, or just Mr. Hayes?

The XK3 list is for Hammond only products (as you said), but used to be just about Hammond Xk3s. I know, I was a very early member.

As for "guess which one", the list of manufacturers for Hammond-centric gear isn't very large. So let's quit spinning this into a Axis of Evil rationalization.

"Moderation" is what it is: someone else decides what can be said, and what can't. As you've said, you've been moderating Mr. Hayes since day one. Call it what you want, and I'll call it as I see it.

Having Hammond-centric gear discussed, whether it's Hammond-Suziki or not, is beneficial, at least from an informational standpoint. If people think Hayes is shilling, they'll make up their own minds about it (I don't need you to do it for me). Same rules apply for other Hammondcentric manufacturers, whether they be (I'll moderate this one myself, thanks) or (this one too) or (same with this one). I like knowing what's out there. It's not like Speakeasy is the ONLY company out there that has stuff I'm interested in.

I don't like censored information. But that's me. Nobody launches me as an unguided missile. I try to stay out of a lot of the crap that goes on in the groups, but sometimes the anti-Speakeasy stuff is so out of line that I will step forward. But they don't need me to defend them. I left the Xk list a while back; I also left the organ-ized group because it really had gotten out of control with the obvious anti-Hayes agenda and the unleashed (and unhinged) pitbull that it had just become a huge flamepit.

Sometimes subtlety is a little more insidious.

No Tony, Mt Hayes didn't suddenly get moderated recently, he has been
moderated since he joined the group. .. The
purpose of the XK-3 group is to provide a forum for the discussion of
Hammond XK-3/c along with the XK-1 and XM-2 as well as Leslie's such
as the 3300, 2101/21System. Occasionally other current and older
Hammond Organs and Leslies are topics of conversation too. In
addition, other products that group members own that they use with
their Hammond gear is also sometimes discussed.
