[ moderator edited for top posting - with full previous email including headers and footer ] Yeah, okay -- so I'd like to immediately withdraw the word "censorship" from the subject line. It didn't appear in the text for a reason, but I didn't have the common sense to drop it from the subject line. I realize that this was a provocative and a judgemental tack to take, and I'm sorry it went out that way. That said, it sure hit the list fast! And there have been a lot of midday responses -- as you've seen -- so this may not really difuse the discussion. As much as I'd prefer it to do. Honestly, I'm kinda surprised it even got out -- not considering how fast it got out! Several folks suggested that an off-line to Kirk would have been a more appropriate contact: agree completely, but didn't know who was in charge and didn't take the time to check. Yes, that would have been a better way to go. I especially appreciate Nick Schade's explanation of what it takes to fix something like this: for people like me who don't do software, software is always an easy fix. Point taken. As to spam, roger that. Understand the issue, and am a victim myself. Don't know if a U.S. government email address would be an issue -- my domain, "dot-us -- is not a government environment, strangely enough. (And if it did, it would probably come out encrypted.) So, sorry to wake everyone up. Didn't mean to stir the pot -- at least not the way the post actually did -- and appreciate completely all the efforts that have to be taken to make a list like this work. Whatever they are.
