Actually, that is the only thing that I am glad you did. Let me explain. If there is going to be threats and censorship (direct or indirect) by the listowners, I damn well want to know about it so that I can be out the door. The only thing that scares me more than overt censorship is the kind of covert, behind-the-scenes censorship practiced in countries like China. And it would be incredibly naive to say that it is not censorship for the listowners to threaten JDG (or anyone else). I can hear Jeroen now, "but JDG wasn't banned, just warned". So said the man pointing the gun at the bank teller, "I didn't shoot her, I just politely asked for the money". -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.com/
