One thing I find interesting is that even though this is a list devoted to a machine, an aging and often decrepit machine at that, it is still a vibrant forum fraught with political struggle, drama, heros and villians, values and history. One recurring struggle typically pits those who prefer a free and open forum against thsoe who want to control and censor and make the list fit their personal tastes. So far, the free-speechers have won this struggle every time...primarily by the force of persuasion, although having wise administrators helps. viva la List! Steve www.Censure & Move On !
