  This is fine.  Then they can INDIVIDUALLY filter out what they don't want to
read or listen to.

  We have already done this on many occasions.  That is well documented as well.
It is a matter of reviewing our positions, noting more in regards to CENSORSHIP
and list rules.  David Jenson outlined what we felt was a reasonable compromise
position, as did others.  Harald, Roberto, and the DNSO List Admin., and I
suppose the illegitimate NC ignored it.

  ANd it is not likely to happen either.  A s our spokesman Jeff Williams
would say, and I believe rightly so as well, that without $$ this is not
viable.

  It is not a matter of conveyance, it is a matter of principal.  If you act in an
unprincipled and improper manner, you cannot expect to garner or engender
trust in the process, not to mention the leaders, or espoused leaders.  The
former predicates the latter.
