  First of all Harald, these are not Facts, but supposition.  Can you prove
any of these statements?  I am quite sure you cannot.  Please refrain form

  Why was I not informed?  Who sent this "Information"?  What was it's
nature?  Why when I ask the list admin over 15 times, was I never once
replied to regarding this SELECTIVE CENSORSHIP?

"Suspected" is correct.  But they obviously are not used by me.
