It seems pertinent to ask why my own posting on the subject has not been forwarded to the list...

The job of a moderator is to censor. There is no other word to describe the job you are asked to do. Censorship is not always a bad thing. You have disagreed with me a number of times on the focus of the list and the movement but allowed those postings through while posting your disagreement openly. Keeping off-topic and insulting material off the list is exactly what your job as moderator entails and you retain my confidence. -- Dr Andrew A Adams, School of Systems Engineering The University of Reading, Reading, RG6 6AY, UK Tel:44-118-378-6997 E-mail:[email protected] http://www.rdg.ac.uk/~sis00aaa/
