A) You own the list. You can run it as you please. B) If I start a new list, I can run it as I please.
C) Neither list is owned by the government and the primary resources for the list are provided by private parties; therefore, there are no First Amendment issues involved in how the respective lists are run. I would have every right to ban you from my list for violating list rules. You would have every right to include messages supporting your religious views in headers and footers of your list. You could even require that we all swear or affirm a belief in God as you define God. There is nothing I or anybody else could do, except leave, if you choose that path. Again, the analogy is spurious since there is no government action involved.

Re: Religious Freedom <CF_sarcasm disclamer="An example, not something that'll ever happen"> I've decided that Howard is right. I have every right to impose my religious views on anyone I want. For this reason, the lists and all related resources will be closed down from Friday night to an hour after sundown Saturday nigh as well as all Jewish holidays. In addition, the new footers of the list will praise the words of the Torah while saying how all other religions are wrong. I may even put in headers asking people to convert to Judaism before each post. Of course, you have the right to leave the list but then you loose the resource. You can even start up your own list but I'll come there as well and do the same. If you ban me I'll sue for having my first amendment right being taken away. Of course, I can also spam you and you have no right to stop me from doing so. Think of me as a teacher teaching in a class. I'm just getting my message across. All you can do is not listen. </CF_sarcasm> ______________________________________________________________________ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
