Wolfgang, Wow! Those are serious accusations! Regardless, please in the future refer all of these to the rtl-advocacy list, out of respect for those who are more interested in the technical content of using RTLinux.
Being that I am the so called "censor" as described in your email, that is, the one who is currently in charge of periodically going through the list of rejected messages (from our anti-spam filters), I just wanted to make some clarifications as to how the stuff gets into (or out of) the list. We have a set of filters which weed out: 1.) emails with large attachments 2.) emails with raw HTML code included 3.) emails with known spam-offending websites Thus, if your emails fall into any of these categories, then it is likely to end up in the rejected pile (which at this point is an extremely large pile). I then go through on a periodic basis and try to find any non-spam emails from this list, but I can guarantee you that some of them may be missed due to the sheer bulk of spam email that this list gets on a daily basis. In fact, your email was one of the ones that I rescued in this pile due to the raw HTML code that is being put into your emails courtesy of your email program. Thus, if you want to make sure that your emails do not accidentally end up in this list, please ensure that: 1. you have no attachments 2. you have no raw HTML code 3. you are not a known spam offender. Other than that, if your emails still fail to get in, please feel free to contact me at any time, and we can take it from there. Until then, I hope that this answers your questions about the way I "censor" postings to this list.
