Re: [ga] Austerity measures AND ga-full

[Eric Dierker <eric@HI-TEK.COM>]

It is real easy;

Our group here violates every tenant of free speech and we all go along.  The idea
being all they really restrict is bouncing the messages out to the signed on public
which most lists do not do anyway.  That is ok but recently the decided that all
banned people could only be recorded on the ga full. so now they are fully censoring
public input.  And that is ok until you review the fact that only those opposed to
the current regime are banned. And that is Ok also, because we are beginning the
road of not caring and therefor spending all of our time elswhere.  And that is ok
too if that is what you want to support.  Now we have total censorship controlled by
the cochair, and actually that will work because we can define the ga very easily
now.
