I have responded to Gobo in e-mail, and I have encouraged her to

remain. Don the abestos suit and wade in.

One of the beauties of this list is that it is unmoderated, leaving

people to express their opinions and thoughts, post on a wide variety

of topics, subjects, etc. has always done a superb job of

remaining a moderator without becomming a censor

Censorship is a powerful tool/weapon.

" Every writer at some point faces the spectre of censorship because

there are no words or combination of words that can avoid offending

the sensibilites of all. For every advocate of free speech there is

bound to be someone who sees unforgiveable licentiousness. Emotions

such as these are readily translated into value judgements which

become a spur to action. " " Book Banning in America " - Noble "
