OK - point taken - but where did you get the concept of 10M

As for my participation, it's now focused on the freedom and censorship
issues.

I didn't threaten - you suggested - and I made a note of it.  And my
disruption of this list has been very productive.  The issue has been
appropriately identified and we've even had harald do his job, not well -
but i have faith.

We need clear guidance on the censorship issue.  It's not over - others
are still being censored.
