To Ed's credit he has stayed true to his anti-censorship stance. He has proven that it works. I have seen lists come to a screeching halt by overzealous moderators. Profox was started as a response to a list Nazi.
A horse racing list I own is made up of people who were banned from another list for failing to trim their posts. The list is made up of gamblers, horse vets, horse owners, grooms and jockeys. The only "people" I have banned are the members who sent Viagra spam. There have been plenty of disagreements and occasional name calling, but no banishments (although I know the temptation is great). My list gets about 1000 messages a month now and the former list gets about 3. The people complaining about volume of mail now have their wish. A group with 1000 members receives 3 posts a month now. --- MB Software Solutions <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Michael Madigan wrote: > > I Had a separate folder for JVP.
