Well, as much as I hate to admit that I agree with Jared on ANYTHING 
(grin!) he was 100% correct with his post.

Censorship is how totalitarian regimes remain in power.  This is why 
Microsoft ALWAYS includes a gag order in their shrink-wrap licenses and 
in all of their out-of-court settlements.

If you think back over the last few weeks, we have only seen an average 
of 2 or 3 spams per week - although each spam seems to generate 20 
replies to the list from members.  In effect, we are our own worst spammers!

Perhaps our noble list moderator will appoint someone to be responsible 
for following up on Emails sent to the list that the membership 
considers to be spam and instruct them to remove the list address from 
their master-spam database.

I would be happy to volunteer for this duty - at least until such time 
as I find gainful employment!
