Kari, I think you missed the meaning of the messages. There is no "censoring" going on at all. But the way the mailing list works, messages from non-members will be put aside until a list administrator (or moderator for lack of better words) can take a look at them and allow them through.
This is not censoring at all. It's hardly even moderating of the list. It's simply an administrative setting that prevents spam from flooding the list. Only email addresses that have signed up can post to the list. Some of us have multiple addresses and will occasionally post to the list from one that is not signed up on the list. These messages are not simply discarded but set aside for review. Jarrod's message was indicating that he had handled these messages the list software had set aside, and one of Kevin's legitimate messages was in the list. Neils simply was making light of the issue and doing a quasi comparison of Jarrod's role in this to that of a SlashDot moderator. There is no wrong doing here... My apologies if it's ME who is mis-reading the tone of your message. :) Shawn On Tuesday 30 November 2004 08:31, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I must admit that I am shocked at both of you > > Niels - you were one of the many who stated that the Executive had no right > to stop a conversation.
