Tricia,

Regarding your question:

"Is MrsD privy to the private conversations between forum moderaters? That sounds very unethical."

I don't think that MrsD is privy to the conversations of the moderators. When I read what MrsD had posted to Ellie ("... I won't go into detail here, but others in your admin circle can clue you in.") I interpreted that to mean that some of the other people who are moderators for this forum with Ellie are likely people who knew what went on in the past when MrsD had posted private information. Possibly from problems at BT where some of these same people knew what had happened there, although I don't know about this. It is just what crossed my mind when I read the posts on this thread.

Just my 2 cents ....

cheers,
