yes.

The list is a privately run and operated function. The first amendment
rights you think you have do not apply. It's not fair but that is how it
is. If the admins of GERRY feel a thread has run it's course, or has
gotten significantly off course, they can filter it into oblivion. One
of the rules you agreed to when you signed up. It's right there... in
Section 43A sub-paragraph b7 riboflavin, et al...

So... if they want to kill the oil thread and let the tire thread
live... I will live also. And continue to subscribe to the best auto
list I have been associated with.

please kill this thread now!
