You may take this discussion pmail.
Please read the context of your recent Prius posting vs. the 'bug' posting. It is not the perception of this moderator that bug query was telling people what a better world this may become if we all drive bugs. If he/she did, this mod would consider that a political message which does not belong on this list.
It has ALWAYS been the policy on this group that objections to off topic discussions on any day, should be taken up with the mods via pmail. If you object to that policy, send a pmail to one of the mods. Posting your objection to the thread is inappropriate. Guessing you should know this by now.
We do have an unwritten system of checks and balances. If you feel one of the mods is misinterpreting your message, take it up with the other. In the event the mods are unable to agree, we request latest former mod and list admin to break the impasse.
