You wrote to the postmaster, Greg? Wow, you do take this just a *bit*
too seriously I feel. I've kept out of this up until now, but you have
no real right to start trying to censor anyone - this newsgroup is
public access and provided nothing offensive is put here, then it's
down to people to read what they want and ignore the rest. I have
absolutley no objection at all to anyone putting anything they want
here; if I don't want to read it, I wont. I really can get my head
around someone who wants to determine what can and can't be put onto a
publically available message board like this! Sorry Greg, but you were
out of order wit that one, whatever you supposed
reasons.

You'll have to agree to disagree on that one - it's a contentious issue
that you'll find it difficult to get any number of people to side on
either end of, I think.
