And Richard the deputy did *not* answer the question which was asked,
but instead stated, enigmatically, "read carefully..." blah blah -- when
in fact the question was crystal clear, Is it or is it not necessary for
2 or more reporters to report an IP to become listed.  Richard didn't
answer that and he had a perfectly good opportunity to say Yes or No.
He chose to say neither.

> RW did say to "read carefully"

Which was non helpful in the context of the question that /Steve/
presented:

<SU> "I  have sent a request to the deputies to clarify this issue.  It
has always been my understanding (perhaps back to my usenet days) that
it required 2 REPORTERS to list an IP address, but the actual FAQ
(http://www.spamcop.net/fom-serve/cache/297.html) states: The SCBL will
not list an IP address with only one report filed."

Then, Richard cited that statement and answered 'read carefully'.  Big
help.

Show me where.  Richard didn't say that in the link above when asked
directly.  And you haven't cited anything else.
